Doris Kearns Goodwin, the presidential historian, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, news commentator and author, will serve as the next speaker in Manhattanville College’s “Castle Conversations” forum speaker series Dec. 2.
The event, which will be held at 7 p.m. in Reid Castle on the college’s campus in Purchase, will feature the author of six best-selling books, including Goodwin’s most recent publication, “The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and the Golden Age of Journalism,” which was acquired by Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios for a feature film. Goodwin also worked with Spielberg on “Lincoln,” a film partly based on Goodwin’s book “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.”
Goodwin, who taught government at Harvard University for 10 years, regularly appears on NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and CNN.
General seating costs $75. For more information or for tickets, go to www.castleconversations.org or call 914-323-1277.
Goodwin is the last of four speakers in the 2015 Castle Conversations forum, following Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington in March; journalist Dan Rather in June; and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson in September.
Manhattanville’s Castle Conversations, which are held throughout the year, are sponsored by Purchase-based MasterCard.
