Jazmine Ulloa is a national reporter who covers immigration for The New York Times and is the author of the new book El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory. Born and raised in El Paso, Jazmine brings both a journalist’s discipline and a personal connection to the story, weaving together archival research, oral histories, and her own family background to explore how this border community has shaped the broader story of the United States.
Her lecture will feature her experience in the Political Journalism field.
The lecture program honors Mary Alice Davis, who retired as an Austin American-Statesman columnist and editorial writer in 2002. After her death from ovarian cancer in 2004, her husband, Jim Davis, and daughter, Rachel Davis, established the lectureship in her name with the goal of bringing noted journalists to the campus for the benefit of students and the general public.
