Faculty profile: Adam Hochschild
The J-school&#;s resident journalist-historian discusses social activism, travel, and why he&#;ll never write a biography of any of the Founding Fathers.
Sitting on a soft brown couch in his Berkeley home with feet propped on a coffee table, Adam Hochschild (&#;Hoch&#; as in &#;spoke,&#; &#;child&#; as in &#;build,&#; his Berkeley website notes) is much less intimidating than his resume. Co-founder of Mother Jones, journalist for over 50 years and author of eight nonfiction books, Hochschild is humble and a bit avuncular. And since he has been a staple of the UC Berkeley School of Journalism faculty, teaching a class almost every year on some form of narrative writing.
His warmth and generosity are fodder for stories among students and staff. One student recently told me about meeting Hochschild for the first time. It was at a visiting day for admitted students, and she spent over 30 minutes asking him questions about the School, which he patiently answered. It was only after he left that she realized she had been talking to a famous author, and the co-founder of one of the most prolific investigative magazines in the country.
