Long before COVID-19 grounded flights, the planet was choking on mass tourism. Post-pandemic, we need a new way to visit ancient relics and living cultures before the decline of travel crowds us all out.
Meet Our Presenter:
Martin Regg Cohn is a political columnist for the Toronto Star. A foreign correspondent for 11 years, he ran the Star’s Middle East and Asia bureaus, reporting from more than 40 countries — from Afghanistan to Yemen. He was later Foreign Editor and a world affairs columnist. Nominated five times for the National Newspaper Award, he also received an Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada fellowship to research Islam in Indonesia, and won the Amnesty International Media Award for his coverage from Sudan.
A Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, he is also a Visiting Practitioner in the Faculty of Arts at Ryerson University, and delivered lectures for New York Times Journeys on trips to Iran, Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan.
