Her book, American Made: What Happens to People when Work Disappears investigates the impact of an Indiana factory closure
In partnership between the Carmel Clay Public Library and Indiana Humanities, Pulitzer-prize winning writer Farah Stockman will be at the main branch to discuss the role work plays in Americans’ sense of identity and belonging on March 19.
Stockman, who currently serves on the New York Times editorial board, will be in conversation with Carmel City Councilman Jeff Worrell discussing the themes present in her book American Made and the three Indiana workers whose lives unravel when a factory closes.
“American Made explores the ways in which national and international economic events are felt in local communities,” said Megan Telligman, director of programs at Indiana Humanities. “We’re excited for the conversation with Farah Stockman where we further explore Hoosier experiences and the way work impacts individuals and communities in our state.”
Tickets are free but registration is required.
