Centre College Press Distinguished Lecture

[/vc_column_text]A CONVERSATION WITH JOHN GREEN[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” font_size=”20″ line_height=”relaxed”]#1 New York Times bestselling author John Green presents an insightful conversation exploring his life, career and the experiences that have shaped his creative process and connected him with audiences across the world.

A celebrated storyteller, educator and digital creator, Green has reached millions through his bestselling novels, film adaptations and nonfiction, including The Fault In Our Stars, Looking for Alaska and Everything is Tuberculosis. He is also the co-creator of the long-running Youtube channels Vlogbrothers and Crash Course alongside brother Hank Green, providing free educational programs to millions of subscribers.

Green’s highly-anticipated new novel Hollywood, Ending releases on September 22, and tells a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story that “brilliantly confronts the private cost of a public life.”

This conversation will be moderated by Stacey Peebles, Centre College H. W. Stodghill, Jr. and Adele H. Stodghill Professor of English and Chair of Film Studies.

Endowed by philanthropist Lucille Caudill Little, the Press Distinguished Lecture Series brings notable speakers who have improved our nation’s civic and cultural life to Centre College. The series was named in honor of late Kentucky civic leaders O. Leonard Press, founding director of Kentucky Educational Television, and Lillian Press, founding director of the Kentucky Governor’s Scholars Program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1689962444644{margin-bottom: 80px!important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgDGlcxYrhQ”]ABOUT THE SPEAKER[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus” font_size=”20″ line_height=”relaxed”]John Green is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, The Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down, The Anthropocene Reviewed and Everything is Tuberculosis.

Green’s books have been published in more than 55 languages and over 60 million copies are in print worldwide.

In 2007, John and his brother Hank ceased textual communication and began to talk primarily through videoblogs posted to YouTube. The videos spawned a community of people called nerdfighters who fight to decrease the overall worldwide level of suck. (Decreasing suck takes many forms: Nerdfighters have raised millions of dollars to fight poverty in the developing world; they also planted thousands of trees around the world in May of 2010 to celebrate Hank’s 30th birthday.) Although they have long since resumed textual communication, John and Hank continue to upload two videos a week to their YouTube channel, vlogbrothers. Their videos have been viewed more than one billion times.

John and Hank launched educational YouTube channel Crash Course in late 2011 with funding from YouTube’s original channel initiative. World History, Literature, Economics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Government are just some of the courses available to date. Following the success of Crash Course and SciShow, John and Hank co-founded Complexly, an educational media studio that creates and produces shows including PBS Eons, Ours Poetica and The Art Assignment.
