Brooke Borel: The Art of Fact-Checking
Applebaum Editors and Publishers series
12:00 PM in the Arts Cafe
Hosted by: Julia Bloch and the members of The Art of Editing
rsvp: wh@writing.upenn.edu or 215-746-POEM

listen: to an audio recording of this event
In our supposedly "post-fact" world, is there still a place for the editorial art of fact-checking? Or is the practice simply more urgent now than ever? In her authoritative guide to the field of fact-checking, Brooke Borel reminds us that the sentiment that we need fact-checking now more than ever has been heard before - certainly in earlier eras of journalism, before the digital age, and possibly all the way back to the invention of the printing press. Borel reminds us that "If journalism is a cornerstone of democracy, then fact-checking is its building inspector": and yet, fact-checking is not always taught in journalism programs, and tends to land on the chopping block at cash-strapped publishing outlets. In this conversation with Borel, Julia Bloch and the members of her Art of Editing class will discuss the tools of the trade, its historical and current urgencies, and what writers, editors, and of course readers - not just of journalism, but even of fiction, poetry, and other forms of writing - could stand to learn from the "reality check" that fact-checkers provide.
Brooke Borel is a journalist and author. She has written on everything from particle physics to the seedy world of cannabis pesticides to the history of fake news for the likes of Popular Science, the Guardian, the Atlantic, BuzzFeed News, FiveThirtyEight, Scientific American, and Undark magazine. She is a contributing editor at Popular Science and an editor-at-large at Undark. Both the Alicia Patterson Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have supported her work. She teaches writing workshops at New York University and the Brooklyn Brainery. Her books are Infested: How the Bed Bug Infiltrated Our Bedrooms and Took Over the World and The Chicago Guide to Fact-Checking, which Library Journal named one of the best reference books of 2016. And her new podcast is Methods, a show about how we know what we know.

A conversation with Patterson Hood
Hosted by Anthony DeCurtis
5:00 PM in the Arts Cafe
RSVP to reserve your seat: wh@writing.upenn.edu
watch: a video recording of this event via KWH-TV
listen: to an audio recording of this event
Patterson Hood is a prolific writer and performer whose character-driven
stories are packed with political subtext. He is best known as
front-man, singer, songwriter and guitar player for the critically
acclaimed rock and roll band Drive-By Truckers, but is also a writer of
essays, columns and short stories. In the past few years he has written
an op-ed on the on-going controversies surrounding the confederate flag
for The New York Times Magazine, a piece on Vic Chesnutt for
The Oxford
American's annual music issue, and retrospectives on David Bowie for
American Songwriter and Merle Haggard for NPR. Most recently in October
of 2016, Patterson published his first short story featured in
The
Highway Kind, a car-themed crime fiction anthology.
Drive-By Truckers have released 13 albums and played over 2,000 shows in the past nineteen years. They also released a 35-song, career-spanning box set in 2015 that was recorded live at The Fillmore in San Francisco. American Band, their most recent album released in the height of election season on September 30th 2016, takes their political undertones much closer to the surface than ever before. The album delves into matters that resonate deeply in divided America, including last year's massacres in Charleston, SC and Roseburg, OR; the death of Michael Brown; the continued controversy over the Confederate flag; and the roots of the National Rifle Association. According to Patterson, the track “What It Means” is the most blatant protest song on the record. “I look at that song as the beginning of a conversation that, perhaps, we all need to have. I think white people are afraid to talk about race. Maybe it's time for us to get past that, too,” he explained in an interview with CNN.
Praises have rolled in for “American Band” since its release. NPR has claimed it to be one of the best albums yet from Drive-By Truckers, deeming it “unapologetically progressive,” and “a poignant take on what it means to be an American in a time when uncertainty and fear are omnipresent.” Rolling Stone raves, “'American Band' comes from the very distinct perspective of a group that remains burdened by, and reckoning with, its own bloody southern history.” The record has been also been recognized on several 2016 year-end lists including The Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone, NPR, Uncut, and Entertainment Weekly.
In addition to his work with Drive-By Truckers, Patterson has amassed 3 solo albums and co-produced or played on additional albums by Bettye LaVette, Booker T. Jones and The Dexateens. As a speaker and lecturer, he has spoken and conducted classes at Princeton, The University of Indiana, The University of Georgia, and The University of Alabama. Earlier this year he spoke at the Frank and Kula Lumpuris Distinguished Lecture Series at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, and also delivered the commencement address to the graduating class of 2015 at the University of Northern Alabama.

Dead Parents Society: a reading and conversation
Beltran Family Award Program
6:00 PM in the Arts Cafe
watch: a video recording of this event via KWH-TV
listen: an audio recording of this event (Episode 2 of the Dead Parents Society podcast)
Dead Parents Society is a project that explores writing by those who have lost a parent at a relatively young age and that encourages conversation about the purpose of writing about such hardship, and also about the experience of reading such work. Can good writing also be therapeutic? Does writing about death always have to be sad? How do our past traumas shape our present perspectives? This reading will feature writers affiliated with the Penn and Writers House communities whose work has directly or indirectly been influenced by a parent's death. We promise this event won't be as sad as it might sound. And we'll have comfort food!

Dakin Fellowship and a Howard Nemerov from the Sewanee Writers' Conference, and a Sosland Foundation Fellowship from the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies.
About Dots & Dashes: “With Dots & Dashes, Jehanne Dubrow adds a sixth volume to our bookshelves of necessary poetry, and we are given a panoramic view of the landscape of marriage within the structure and confines of military life. This is a difficult and layered collection, one that refuses to avert its gaze from trouble in all its overt and nuanced forms. While these poems offer lenses into the interiority of an often closed-off world, the core experiences within these poems don't reside on military bases and in military life alone. Isolation, separation, the silences and failures of communication—Dots & Dashes is a series of messages called out over the waters of a life, a reminder that sailors are not always the ones who are lost at sea.” —Brian Turner
