Staging the drama of deindustrialization

Description:
Fran Shor, emeritus professor of History at Wayne State University, delivers a talk entitled "Staging the drama of deindustrialization: Lynn Nottage's 'Sweat'." Shor discusses Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Sweat", specifically looking at the play as a reflection of the crisis caused by deindustrialization. Shor explains that his interest in the play is connected to his professional life as a labor scholar and that it is also connected to his personal life through his daughter, actress Miriam Shor, who appeared in an off-Broadway production of "Sweat". Shor explains deindustrialization and discusses how "Sweat" gives insight into the lives of the people who are most affected by deindustrialization. He answers questions from the audience. The event is convened by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck from the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
