SEMIPUBLIC INTELLECTUAL SESSIONS

From university classrooms, talk radio, and op-ed pages to Reddit, podcasts, Twitter, and more, sites of cultural conversation proliferate and grow ever more varied in scope, substance, and norms. What does it mean to cover culture or advocate change in this context? How has the emergence of so many new locations – and with them new critics and audiences – shaped, shattered, and meme-ified “the discourse”? Join the Los Angeles Review of Books for our inaugural Semipublic Intellection Session with cultural critics and writers Daphne Brooks (Liner Notes for the Revolution), Javier Cabral (L.A. Taco), Lili Loofbourow (Slate),Sarah Marshall (You’re Wrong About), and Jesse McCarthy (Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul?) on Thursday, October 7 at 5pm/8pm (PT/ET) to find out!
