Join us for a deep dive into the profound ways that the year 2020 saw our world shift, at the launch of the new book 2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed. Written by Eric Klinenberg, sociologist and director of New York University’s Institute for Public Knowledge, 2020 is the first book to explore what the pandemic, the BLM protests, and the polarized and contested election reveal about our culture, society, and future. WIth the traumas of that year still reverberating, this pivotal thinker helps provide perspective on our reshaped lives, country, and world. Klinenberg will be in conversation with novelist Nell Freudenberger, whose upcoming work The Limits (released April 2024) also grapples with this seismic year.
