A former writer on Late Night with Seth Meyers and Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, Nancherla heads to MIT this spring for a moderated discussion on her career and her honesty about her struggles with depression. MIT philosophy professor Kieran Setiya will moderate.
Moderator: Kieran Setiya is a philosophy professor at MIT and author of five books including Midlife: A Philosophical Guide to be published in 2017.
