Conversation with Jelani Cobb, historian and New Yorker staff writer

Conversation with Jelani Cobb, historian and New Yorker staff writer

Jelani Cobb, eminent American journalist and influential commentator, is the author of Three or More Is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025, an anthology of his recent work in The New Yorker, and a real-time portrait of our chaotic historical moment.

The New York Times said, “¬In this collection of cultural criticism and reportage… Cobb offers a clear-eyed look at a turbulent decade of grass-roots social movements and the eventual right-wing backlash they inspired.”

Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, Cobb received the 2020 Peabody Award for the Frontline documentary, Whose Vote Counts?, and was a finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for commentary.
