Reading: Social Class Voices: Student Stories from the University of Michigan Bicentennial
Student and alumni authors read from their contributions to the book
In Social Class Voices: Student Stories from the University of Michigan Bicentennial (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 Q/A will follow the readings.
