In Conversation with Zeenat Rahman

  • University of Chicago Institute of Politcs at Friedman Hall 1201 East 60th Street Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Please join the Institute of Politics in person as we welcome Huma Abedin, top aide and longtime advisor to Hillary Clinton, in conversation with IOP Executive Director Zeenat Rahman. They will discuss Ms. Abedin’s new memoir, Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds

The book is the story of young woman coming into her own in pressure-cooker jobs and her deeply personal relationship with Hillary Clinton as a mentor, confidante, and role model. Ms. Abedin’s memoir takes readers through a journey in which both women experience extraordinary personal and professional highs in addition to unimaginable lows. 

Ms. Abedin has spent her entire career in public service and national politics, beginning as an intern in First Lady Hillary Clinton’s office in 1996. After four years in the White House, she worked in the US Senate as Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton and was traveling Chief of Staff for Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. In 2009, she was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff at the US Department of State. Huma served as Vice Chair of Hillary for America in 2016, resulting in the first woman elected nominee of a major political party. She currently serves as Hillary Clinton’s Chief of Staff.

Copies of Both/And will be for sale at the event.
