Description

In this audiovisual recording from Thursday, March 21, 2019, as part of the 50th Annual UND Writers Conference: “What the Future Holds,” Sarah Smarsh reads from her book Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth. Smarsh also responds to audience questions about how she responds to people who misunderstand the difficulty of escaping social inequality and struggle, advice for those who are moving from the city to the country, the contradiction of those who benefit from privilege while also trying to distance themselves from it, creators and storytellers who are representing rural life well right now, and others.

Introduced by Dr. Elizabeth Legerski, Department of Sociology.

Sarah Smarsh's reading was a Humanities North Dakota GameChanger Event.
