"Michelle Goldberg is a native Buffalonian and a graduate of the University at Buffalo. As a writer for UB’s student paper, The Spectrum, she wrote an attention-grabbing article in 1995, when pro-life students erected 4,400 white crosses—with the permission of the UB’s Amherst Campus—to represent the number of abortions claimed to be performed each day in the United States. “This week is anti-choice week at UB,” she wrote in the article, which was also picked up by Artvoice.
Her interest in the anti-abortion movement grew through her experiences doing clinic defense during the infamous Spring of Life protests, which polarized much of Western New York and the nation during the early 1990s.
After finishing a master’s degree in journalism at the University of California at Berkeley, she worked in San Francisco as a freelance journalist, writing a series of articles on the “ex-gay” movement.
Now a senior writer for Salon.com in New York City, Goldberg has traveled extensively, often reporting from the Middle East on topics involving ideology and politics. Goldberg is also adjunct professor at New York University’s Graduate School of Journalism. She has written columns for the San Francisco Bay Guardian and Shift Magazine, and has contributed articles to Rolling Stone, the UK Guardian, Utne Reader and Newsday, among others. Her first book, Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, was published just this year by W. W. Norton & Co."
