Majumder, who led the India operations of the international press freedom group, the Committee to Protect Journalists, for six years, will discuss why press freedom is essential to safeguarding all human rights. “TEDxUofM is a fantastic platform to speak about the critical importance of press freedom and why it remains a fundamental pillar of democracy," says Majumder. “It is a great way to wrap up my fellowship at the University of Michigan.”

TEDxUofM brings the renowned TED experience to the University of Michigan, showcasing the “leaders and best” through talks, performances, and interactive activities centered around this year’s theme, Rooted, which explores the power of our origins and influences. Majumder’s expertise in navigating the evolving media landscape aligns perfectly with the theme Rooted, as he addresses how foundational principles of press freedom are essential to a just society.

Join us for an inspiring evening featuring six U-M alumni, faculty, and students sharing their unique perspectives. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the show begins at 6:00 PM.
