Humanities on the Hill: Anand Pandian & Hahrie Han.<\/p>\n
Register here<\/a> in advance!<\/p>\n AGHI\u2019s Humanities on the Hill welcomes Krieger-Eisenhower Professor Anand Pandian and SNF Agora Institute Director Hahrie Han\u00a0for a conversation about Pandian\u2019s recent book,\u00a0Something Between Us<\/em>: The Everyday Walls of American Life, and How to Take Them Down<\/em> (Stanford University Press).<\/p>\n In 2016, anthropologist Anand Pandian was alarmed by Donald Trump’s harsh attacks on immigrants to the United States and the appeal of his politics of anger and fear. In the years that followed, Pandian crisscrossed the country\u2014from Fargo, North Dakota to Denton, Texas, from southern California to upstate New York\u2014seeking out fellow Americans with markedly different social and political commitments, trying to understand the forces that have hardened our suspicions of others. The result is\u00a0Something Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life, and How to Take Them Down<\/em>, a groundbreaking and ultimately hopeful exploration of the ruptures in our social fabric, and courageous efforts to rebuild a collective life beyond them.<\/p>\n Copies of\u00a0Something Between Us<\/em>\u00a0and a curated selection of related titles will be available for purchase at the event.<\/p>\n
