DESCRIPTION:Dr. Allison Hurst will discuss the ways the 'Age of Affluence' 
 was interpreted and misinterpreted by social science.\n\nWe now recognize 
 that the post-WWII "Age of Affluence\," as it was known to contemporary ob
 servers\, was an historically anomalous period of flattened economic inequ
 ality\, lying like a trough between two highly inegalitarian eras. Hurst w
 ill discuss the ways social scientists of the time mistook the flattened\,
  high-growth abundant era as a natural consequence of modern democratic so
 cieties rather than as a result of hard-fought political struggles consequ
 ent upon economic dislocation and war. She’ll also trace how the repercu
 ssions of their blunder manifest in our current state of politics.\n\nAlli
 son Hurst teaches courses in the School of Public Policy on the sociology 
 of higher education\, class inequality and social mobility\, and sociologi
 cal theory. She is one of the founders of the Association of Working-Class
  Academics.
