Sam Roberts: Person Place Thing with Randy Cohen

*This event is occurring as a live webinar. Registrants will be emailed a link to access the program.*

Person Place Thing is an interview show hosted by Randy Cohen based on the idea that people are particularly engaging when they speak, not directly about themselves, but about something they care about.

Cohen’s guests talk about one person, one place, and one thing that are important to them. The result: surprising stories from great speakers. This installment of Person Place Thing will be a conversation with Sam Roberts, Urban Affairs Correspondent for the New York Times. 

Ordinarily, this program takes place live, on-stage; but for the duration of the current crisis, we’ll live-stream our conversations.

In partnership with the Association of Architecture Organizations.
