ISU Speaker Series: Steve Inskeep

With a passion for stories of the less famous, Steve Inskeep makes it a point to bring to the forefront stories of Pennsylvania truck drivers, Kentucky coal miners, and many others. He will be coming to ISU as part of the University Speaker Series on March 2, 2022, at 7:00 in Tilson Auditorium.

Since joining Morning Edition in 2004, Inskeep has hosted the program from New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, Cairo, and Beijing; investigated Iraqi police in Baghdad; and received a Robert F.

He is a repeat visitor to Iran and has covered wars in Syria and Yemen.

Inskeep is the author of Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi, a 2011 book on one of the worldâ's great megacities. He is also author of Jacksonland, a history of President Andrew Jackson's long-running conflict with John Ross, a Cherokee chief who resisted the removal of Indians from the eastern United States in the 1830s.
