Emily Walton, Associate Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth College, will facilitate a group discussion about her new book, Homesick: Race and Exclusion in Rural New England. Set in the Upper Valley, the book considers the recent racial demographic transition in an area widely considered to be progressive. Her analysis of interviews with highly educated, professional migrants of color offers new insights into the processes through which white residents harden social boundaries, even in situations of relative socioeconomic equality.
