One Book, One College event Sept. 21

Illinois Valley Community College’s One Book, One College program is sponsoring “Poverty, Work, and Gender” at noon on Wednesday, Sept. 21 in the Active Learning Space in Jacobs Library.  

IVCC Sociology Instructor, Jared Olesen, will touch upon themes in Stephanie Land’s “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay,” and “A Mother’s Will to Survive,” – the ways work and poverty are experienced by women in America and how stigma is interwoven into public assistance programs.
