About this Event

Jodi Kantor will discuss her work holding the powerful to account and fortifying public confidence in the truth.


About the Speaker

As an investigative journalist, Jodi Kantor has had a singular influence on American law, labor, politics, and culture. Her reporting on Starbucks and Amazon led to reforms in shift scheduling and family leave policies. Her series on Harvey Weinstein—co-reported with Megan Twohey—helped bring the producer to justice and catalyze the #MeToo Movement. Kantor’s current work on the Supreme Court has revealed conflicts of interest during a decisive chapter in the institution’s history.


Event Details

This event is free and open to the public. Complimentary parking is available in the main ‘Iolani garage off Kamoku Street.


Keables Scholar & Dai Ho Chun Chair

Jodi Kantor will serve as the Keables Scholar at ‘Iolani School and the Dai Ho Chun Chair at UH Mānoa. The Dai Ho Chun Distinguished Chair was established at the UH Foundation by the late Dr. Dai Ho Chun.


Lead Event Sponsors

This keynote is organized in coordination with the Better Tomorrow Speaker Series, a joint venture of UH Mānoa, The Learning Coalition, and Hawai‘i Community Foundation, with support from the UH Foundation and the Provost at UH Mānoa.
