To say Augusta Read Thomas is prolific is an understatement. A past Grammy Award winner and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music, Thomas has been hailed as “a true virtuoso composer” by The New Yorker, and her work has been performed more than almost any other living composer. Thomas, the University Professor of Composition in the Department of Music and the College, champions classical music as co-curator of the Chicago Ear Taxi Festival and works with new musicians as founder and director of the UChicago Center for Contemporary Composition.     On this episode of Big Brains, Thomas gives a glimpse into the creative process of a world-class composer, discusses the state of classical music today and how she helps train the next generation of composers.   Subscribe to Big Brains on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and RadioPublic, and learn more at news.uchicago.edu

UChicago trustee Jack Fuller has a conversation with two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek. Early in 2013, journalist Paul Salopek will embark on a seven-year foot journey around the world that retraces the pathways of the first human migration out of Africa some 50,000 years ago. This journalism project, called "Out of Eden," will explore untold stories that most other reporters miss because they are moving too quickly. Toting a small laptop and a satellite phone in his rucksack, Salopek will report on the major issues of our day—poverty, conflict, climate change, local innovations—from street-level, living among the people he will cover from Ethiopia to Patagonia. Along the way, he hopes to reexamine the creative tenacity of our wandering ancestors—a lesson that may help us on our collective walk into a tough new century. Paul Salopek was joined by Jack Fuller, University of Chicago Trustee and former editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, for an engaging discussion detailing aspects of Salopek's upcoming journey and his inspiration for this project. Cosponsored by the Center for International Studies, UChicago Careers in Journalism, the Program on the Global Environment, International House Global Voices, and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
