Description

 

Can the left win back lost ground without abandoning our values? Social inequality scholar Joan C. Williams, author of “Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class – and How to Win Them Back,” sees class-competent messaging as the key to engaging working-class Americans and overcoming culture wars. Drawing from her acclaimed book “Outclassed,” on Jan. 13 at 4 p.m. ET, Joan will share actionable steps to meaningfully connect with people who do not have college degrees — bridging what she calls the “diploma divide.”
