Jacksonville Public Library + MOCA present Art & Conversations, a new series of innovative programs focused on literacy and the arts. In this series, JPL + MOCA will collaborate to provide the Jacksonville community access to a rich set of resources by partnering an educational library program with an interactive museum exhibit. Join us for the first program in our new series, Art & Conversations, by registering for Lit Chat with Jennifer Hochschild. Hochschild will chat about her book Facing Up to the American Dream: Race, Class, and the Soul of the Nation and connect it to MOCA's current Atrium exhibit, Making Great Lives Matter by Carl Joe Williams.
Dr. Stuber, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of North Florida, talks with Professor Jennifer Hochschild about her book Facing Up to the American Dream: Race, Class, and the Soul of the Nation.
Jennifer Hochschild is the Henry LaBarre Jayne Professor of Government at Harvard University, Professor of African and African American Studies, Harvard College Professor, and the former Chair of the Department of Government. She holds lectureships in the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Hochschild studies and teaches about the intersection of American politics and political philosophy -- particularly in the areas of race, ethnicity, and immigration -- as well as educational and social welfare policies. She also works on issues in public opinion, political culture, and American political thought, and is currently conducting research on the politics and ideology of genomic science, immigrant political incorporation, and citizens’ use of factual information in political decision-making.
Dr. Stuber is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of North Florida. Dr. Stuber’s research focuses on the cultural aspects of social class inequality. She works from the assumption that social class inequality reflects not simply the fact that some people have more economic resources than others, but that some people also have more valuable symbolic resources, especially what sociologists call social and cultural capital. By looking at the cultural underpinnings of class inequality, her research asks questions about how people understand, enact, and use social class in their everyday lives.
