Mary Higgins Clark Chair in Creative Writing Lecture and Reception

Join us for a lecture by New York Times columnist Ligaya Mishan.

While writing the Hungry City column for The New York Times, Mishan has become known for celebrating the food of immigrants and tracking down small, unsung eateries that “tell a story about the life of the city,” as she said in a Vice profile. Mishan is a contributing writer at the Times’ T Magazine, and her essay “Born in the U.S.A.: The Rise, and Triumph, of Asian-American Cuisine” was selected for the inaugural edition of The Best American Food Writing, published in 2018.
