SAJA presents authors: Shankar Vedantam and Anand Giridhardas
Vedantam will talk about his new book ‘The Hidden Brain: How our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents, Control Markets, Wage Wars and Save Our Lives’ and Giridhardas will talk about his recent reporting experiences in India as well as his forthcoming book ‘India Calling.’ Shankar Vedantam is an author, a national reporter at The Washington Post, and a 2009-2010 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. Between 2006 and 2009, Vedantam wrote the popular Washington Post column, Department of Human Behavior. Vedantam has lectured at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and is an adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia University.
Giridhardas is a writer living in Cambridge, Washington and Bombay. His first book, a work of narrative nonfiction about his return to the India that his parents left, is forthcoming from Times Books in early 2011. It is titled “India Calling.” He is a columnist for The New York Times and its global edition, the International Herald Tribune: his “Currents” column explores fresh ideas, global culture and the social meaning of technology. He just completed a four-and-a-half-year tour as a foreign correspondent in India for The Times and the Herald Tribune, as their first Bombay presence in the modern era. He reported for four years on India’s transformation, Bollywood, corporate takeovers, terrorism, outsourcing, poverty and democracy. More at http://anand.ly/bio
