The University of Washington Tacoma will welcome journalist and author Hanna Rosin next week as the school’s 2013 Paulsen Lecture featured speaker.

Rosin grew up in Israel, and moved to New York City when she was five. She attended Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, and earned a degree in comparative literature at Stanford University. She worked at The New Republic, and wrote regularly for GQ and New York magazines. She became the religion reporter at The Washington Post in 2005, and wrote for The New Yorker. Her first book, God’s Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America, was based on a New Yorker article. She is currently a senior editor at The Atlantic magazine. Her latest book is The End of Men and the Rise of Women.

The lecture will be held at William W. Philip Hall on the University of Washington Tacoma campus on Tues., Oct. 15 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 (free registration for University of Washington students) and available online at tacoma.uw.edu/paulsen.

The Paulsen Lecture recognizes the contributions to the community of University of Washington alumnus and Tacoma native Arthur Paulsen, who died in 2010 at the age of 94. Paulsen was a noted trial lawyer, a superior court judge, a Washington State legislator and chair of the Washington State House Judiciary Committee. Paulsen’s generosity to the University of Washington Tacoma created the Arthur R. and Anna Mae Paulsen Endowed Visiting Chair in Public Affairs. The annual holder of the Paulsen chair comes to the University of Washington Tacoma to deliver a major public address, give a classroom lecture and spend time with students. Past Paulsen Lecture speakers have included Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh and political consultant and author James Carville.
