Join us as students read essays from the book!
In Social Class Voices: Student Stories from the University of Michigan Bicentennial (Edited by Dwight Lang and Aubrey Schiavone, October 2017 - Michigan Publishing) U-M undergraduates and recent alumni-born to the working poor, working, middle, upper-middle, and upper-classes-examine the effects of social class on their families, their K-12 school experiences, as well as their undergraduate years in Ann Arbor. We hear about insecurities and challenges of growing up in poverty, increasing tensions of being born to the working and middle classes, and comforting certainties of upper-middle and upper class lives. Anthology contributors will be reading portions of their essays highlighting critical social class experiences.
A question/answer period will follow the readings.
