South Side Book Club: “High Rise Stories: Voices from Chicago Public Housing” by Audrey Petty

12:00–1:00 pm
Zoom

May.

Join the Office of Dual Careers and Faculty Relocation and the College’s Chicago Studies program for our quarterly meeting of the South Side Book Club. This series allows participants to read through UChicago’s Chicago Studies Chicago By the Book Tour, a guide to the Windy City through a literary lens. This is a “no guilt” book club that meets once a quarter for a lunchtime conversation—no judgement if you don’t get past the first chapter. We focus on books about the South Side of Chicago and continue this year’s series with High Rise Stories: Voices from Chicago Public Housing by Audrey Petty, a series of first person accounts of former residents of Chicago’s iconic public housing projects. The book club is open to faculty, faculty partners, emeriti, and staff.  Discussion questions will be sent to registrants in advance of the meeting.
