ABOUT THE DANIEL PEARL MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES
In 2002, Daniel Pearl’s family and friends established the Daniel Pearl Foundation and the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture Series to celebrate the life and memory of Daniel Pearl. A prominent journalist, musician, and humanitarian, Pearl had dedicated his life to bringing joy and understanding to the world. His relentless efforts to build bridges between diverse cultures – as a writer and gifted musician - have made him a symbol of hope around the world.

This annual lecture series in journalism and international relations is given each year by scholars, journalists, or policy makers who have contributed constructive approaches to problems of global concern.
