Warren Wilson College is honored to welcome Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika as the featured speaker for their Nielsen Big Idea Lecture in Fall 2025.
Dr. Kumanyika is a celebrated journalist, scholar, and audio storyteller whose work has reshaped how we understand American history and identity. His Peabody Award–winning podcast Uncivil unearthed untold stories of the Civil War, while his groundbreaking series Empire City— named one of the top podcasts of 2024 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic— explores the history and impact of the New York Police Department. He is also widely known for his contributions to the acclaimed podcast Seeing White, which examines the history of race and whiteness in America.
Currently an assistant professor at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, Dr. Kumanyika specializes in historically focused, narrative non-fiction audio journalism. His work challenges deeply rooted American myths, particularly around race, policing, and national identity, inviting audiences to confront history with clarity and courage.
In this lecture, Dr. Kumanyika will share insights from his podcasting career and research, tracing the legacies of policing in New York City while also reflecting on the power of narrative storytelling to shift public understanding.
Join us for an evening of compelling ideas, bold storytelling, and a vital conversation about how history, myth, and media shape our present. The lecture will be from 7 to 8:30, with a reception to follow. The event is open to the public and all are welcome. No registration is required.
Visitors from off campus should park in the Admissions parking lot located just beyond Orr Cottage, located at 114 Lower College Rd, Swannanoa, NC. For google maps directions, you can use this dropped pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4EqWwmK51EtHn5uq8
