Pulitzer Center Participates in Wake Forest Voices of Our Time Series

Join the Pulitzer Center at Wake Forest University for Too Young to Wed: Uncovering the Secret World of Child Brides in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Wake Forest University is one of newest members of the Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium network.

Pulitzer Center Executive Director Jon Sawyer and award-winning journalist Cynthia Gorney will lead the discussion, building on the in-depth reporting by Gorney and photographer Stephanie Sinclair for National Geographic, VII photo agency and the Pulitzer Center.

Sinclair's extraordinary photographs on this topic will be showcased.

Her photographs were recently honored by the 2012 World Press Photo contest with a first place prize in the contemporary issues category.
