Working in the 21st Century: A Conversation with Mark Larson
February 29 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
FreeWhy do we show up to the jobs we’ve chosen? Or why don’t we? How has the upheaval of the past few years changed our experience of work? To coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Studs Terkel’s legendary Working, we celebrate the release of Mark Larson’s Working in the 21st Century: An Oral History of American Work in a Time of Social and Economic Transformation.
Larson will discuss his own relationship to Studs Terkel, and share a selection of intimate, honest, and illuminating recordings from the interviews he conducted for the book. Refreshments will be served and books will be on sale from The Understudy.
This event is FREE and open to the public!
