Pulitzer Prize winner Alison Killing joins us to discuss her investigation of Xinjiang’s secret detention camps and the role of architectural tools in investigative journalism.
Architect and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Alison Killing reveals how architectural tools such as mapping, satellite imagery, and spatial analysis can uncover hidden systems and tell urgent human stories. Drawing on her 2021 investigation into Xinjiang’s secret detention camp network, she shares practical methods, case studies and a framework for evidence-driven storytelling.
