Next month, the UT School of Journalism is hosting Paul Krugman, economist, New York Times columnist and author of a new book (with an old title), The Conscience of a Liberal.

In this talk, Krugman will discuss the ideas in his new book, published by W.W. Norton. James K. Galbraith, a professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas and director of the Inequality Project, will introduce the program and offer reflections on the issues Krugman raises in his work.

Sponsored by the School of Journalism at The University of Texas at Austin, this lecture is free and open to the public.

When: 7 pm, Nov. 13, 2007

Where: The University Teaching Center (UTC 2.102) on The University of Texas at Austin campus. Maps are available online. Parking is available in the Brazos Garage off MLK Blvd.
