Yale Conference Celebrates
Carol Stack's Contributions
Scholars from across the nation came together May 1–2 for a two-day conference celebrating the 35th anniversary of the publication of Carol Stack's All our Kin. Stack, a Professor Emerita at the Graduate School of Education, taught in UC Berkeley's Social and Cultural Studies and Women's Studies programs for more than a decade.
All Our Kin is Stack’s pathbreaking ethnography of the survival strategies of African-American women living in poverty in urban America. All Our Kin: A Conference in Honor of Carol Stack celebrated more than three decades of her contribution to ethnography as a method of critical inquiry into the social conditions and public policies that shape people’s everyday lives.
Hosted by the Public Humanities Initiative of the American Studies Program at Yale, the interdisciplinary conference brought together anthropologists, sociologists, journalists and community activists to examine the book's significance to academic and public knowledge about poverty and economic inequality in America.
The event was co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton and the Department of African and African-American Studies at Yale.
