The recipient of numerous awards and prizes, David Gilkey has covered the war on terrorism since 9/11. He was one of the first journalists to go into Afghanistan and the first to cross the border into Iraq while embedded with the U.S. Army.
In 2009, he covered the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and the next year he traveled to Haiti several times to capture the sprawling devastation from the earthquake. He documented the fall of apartheid in South Africa, famine and conflict in Somalia, tribal warfare in Rwanda and the war in the Balkans. In August of this year he traveled to Western Africa to cover the Ebola outbreak.
Gilkey will share stories and images drawing from a well-traveled and at times harrowing professional life.
