Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury

Active engagement in the civil rights, student, and antiwar movements led Drew Faust, Harvard University president emerita and Arthur Kingsley Porter University Professor, to forge a path of her own to become a historian of the conflicts that shaped the world in which she grew up. Faust discusses her recent memoir, Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury, with Paula A. Johnson, president of Wellesley College and women's health pioneer.
