“Everyone Has Class” Webinar on Thursday, November 12th at 7PM (Eastern)

We hope you will make time to attend the next Talking Class webinar, where Betsy Leondar-Wright hosts Allison Hurst and Sean McCloud in support of their upcoming book Everyone Has Class,  which can be pre-ordered. At the webinar, Allison and Sean will discuss the many dimensions of social class in our lives, in American politics and in our terribly K-shaped economy, as well as stories from their own working-class backgrounds.

Allison, a professor at Oregon State University, is a longtime leader in Working-Class Studies, and a pioneer in creating the First-Generation and Working-Class Sociologists caucus within the American Sociological Association. Sean is a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

This is the book Working-Class Studies have been waiting for: a reader-friendly, one-stop-shopping book explaining class dynamics in every part of American society, from close-up looks at pop culture, tastes, education, religion, race and gender intersections, and intimate relationships, to the macro view of billionaires’ domination of politics and the economy.

The Zoom link will be sent to everyone who registers. Reserve your spot using this Eventbrite link.

As always, Talking Class will invite your participation, so bring your stories and thoughts about class in your life and in our society.

Note About the November 12th Event:

At the end of the November 12 webinar, Betsy and Talking Class will host a brief memorial to reminisce about Jack Metzgar, who passed away last week.

Jack was a leader in Working-Class Studies, the author of two groundbreaking books on working-class history and culture, Bridging the Divide and Striking Steel, the co-creator of the Talking Class webinar series, and a supportive friend to many of us.
