public humanities at yale | e-newsletter | march 2020


A new book by Daniel HoSang and Joseph E. Lowndes was the subject of a talk on February 4 for the "Democracy in America" series at the New Haven Free Public Library.

Welcome to the March issue of the Public Humanities @ Yale monthly e-newsletter.

We invite you to listen to two short excerpts from a recent conversation on race and the new right-wing politics between Professors Matt Jacobson and Daniel HoSang. 

These podcasts continue the discussion started last month as part of the ongoing "Democracy in America" series at the New Haven Free Public Library.  

On February 4, co-authors Daniel HoSang & Joseph E. Lowndes gave a terrific talk about their new book Producers, Parasites, Patriots: Race and the New Right-Wing Politics of Precarity (2019).

Please take a look at our Public Humanities calendar for March and April below.  We look forward to seeing you at these events.
