Diamonds in the Rough: The Gentrification of Rural Washington

November 2, 2022 - November 2, 2022

Jennifer Sherman, professor of sociology, discusses both the glaring and the hidden effects of rural gentrification. Through the lens of a rural Washington community, Sherman explains how “class blindness” protects those with more privilege from fully recognizing social class inequalities. She advocates for the importance of getting to know the neighbors who are least like us so that together we can minimize destructive social divides.
