In an era with an increasing focus on identity-based politics, the impact of class can be overlooked or downplayed. What are the lasting effects of growing up poor, and the stress and trauma poverty can engender? Rick Morton (One Hundred Years of Dirt) and Sarah Smarsh (Heartland) offer analysis and their own personal experiences to consider the mobility and rigidity of class.
Chair: Jeff Sparrow
