IOP Pritzker Fellow Nancy French on "From Monteagle Mountain to Manhattan: That’s Me" THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY Monday, February 2 12:30-1:45pm My family members are hillbillies and therefore all “ideologically uniform.” When I went to a small Christian college in Tennessee, it was “ideologically uniform.” So, when I garnered my courage and set out on a journey north to New York City, I hoped to find diversity and acceptance. Instead, I merely got ostracized because I didn’t buy into all the tenets of feminism. So, why are communities becoming more politically and culturally uniform? Do neighborhood choices shape our beliefs, and what does this clustering mean for democracy, elections and social trust? Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Ella Kumano-Maloney (ikmaloney@uchicago.edu).
