Join us Thursday, Feb. 9 for our next Writers Series event featuring Tom Haines, UNH assistant professor of journalism and award-winning travel writer, at 5 p.m. in MUB Theatre I.
Tom Haines joined the Department of English at UNH as an assistant professor in 2011. During two decades as a journalist, he has reported in more than 40 countries and on five continents, on topics ranging from coal to cricket, art to revolution. As a staff writer at The Boston Globe, he was three times named Travel Journalist of the Year in North America, and his stories were anthologized in The Best American Travel Writing, The Prentice Hall Reader, and elsewhere. The Globe three times submitted his work for the Pulitzer Prize. In 2009, he made a leap to the other end of the journalism spectrum, leaving the Globe to help edit and report for The Big Bend Sentinel, a 2,000-circulation community weekly in Far West Texas. There, he also led the design and operation of bigbendnow.com, a news website. Haines has been a staff writer at The Seattle Times and the Idaho Falls Post-Register, and his writing has appeared in The New York Times, TheAtlantic.com, and elsewhere. At UNH, he teaches newswriting and digital storytelling, and he continues to report stories about people and place. He lives in the seacoast of New Hampshire with his wife, Julie, a classical singer, and their two children.
