Adam Johnson

We are thrilled to welcome Pulitzer Prize winner and National Book Award recipient Adam Johnson to our Distinguished Speaker Series. As a prominent Professor of English at Stanford, his teaching pushes the boundaries of creative writing and explores how deep research can bring complex stories to life. Professor Johnson will delve into his literary journey, the "coiled power" of short fiction, and the way narratives connect us across fractured histories. This session offers parents a fascinating look into the world of creative writing from the forefront of Stanford’s renowned humanities faculty.
