SoAn Culture & Society Discussion Series: Pierce County Peoples Project: "Is American Society in a State of Crisis"?

The U.S. has lived through a half century of a neoliberal model of economic governance and economic inequality and now stands at a level not seen since the Roaring Twenties. Americans are more divided today than at any point in recent history along the lines of ideology, politics, and race. Just how serious is the legitimation crisis facing the elites and just how hostile are we to each other? What are the causes of these conflicts? Pierce County People’s Project is investigating these questions through a mixed-methods study of a random sample of county residents. Please join Professor Richard Anderson-Connolly to talk about these issues and the next steps for the research project.
