Journalism alumnus, Barbara Plett Usher, will be returning to Carleton to present the third annual Michael Bell Lecture hosted by the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs. Her lecture, 
Reset or Upset? Trump’s Middle East Parameters, will take place on Nov. 4.
Plett Usher completed a Bachelor of Journalism in 1991 and has since went on to have a very successful international career. She’s worked in foreign news for 26 years, most of that time for the BBC, reporting from postings in the Middle East, South Asia, and at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Her experience ranges from the early years of the Oslo Peace Process and the second Palestinian intifadah to the assassination of Pakistan’s opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and the Security Council’s response to the Arab Revolutions. Currently, she is on an assignment in Jerusalem.
