The Supreme Court’s first Hispanic justice will return to GW later this month to speak about her soon-to-be-released memoir.

Sonia Sotomayor will speak at Lisner Auditorium Jan. 18, three days after “My Beloved World” hits shelves. The book chronicles her childhood in the Bronx, her experiences as a Latina college student while the affirmative action debate was heating up and her ascent to the nation’s highest court.

The event, which starts at 7 p.m., is part of the Politics & Prose Bookstore event series. Tickets for non-members cost $30, and include a copy of the book.

Representatives from the Lisner Auditorium box office could not be reached for comment about the numbers of tickets left, and if any were set aside for students.

Sotomayor was also on campus in March, along with several other justices, for panel discussions hosted by GW and the Department of State.
