Critical Conversation: The New Working Class

Lori Fox, Luke Savage and Deborah Dundas

7:30pm

Tuesday, September 27, 2022

Each day of the Festival, authors and industry experts will come together for candid, live conversations to examine a new facet of the culture and politics that shape the world around us and the books we read.

Capitalism has infiltrated every aspect of our personal, social, economic and sexual lives. Patriarchy and classism are forms of systemic violence that ensure that the main commodity of capitalism – a large, disposable, cheap and ideally subjugated work force – is readily available. There is a lot wrong with the ways we live, work and treat each other. Learn more by joining this riveting conversation with Lori Fox, author of This Has Always Been A War: The Radicalization of a Working Class Queer, Luke Savage and Elizabeth Dhuey.

Moderated by Deborah Dundas.
