Michael Denning, who holds the William R. Kenan, Jr. chair in American Studies at Yale, deconstructs the language of class, ethnicity, and region in a talk derived from his 2003 book, Culture in the Age of Three Worlds. Denning built his reputation for historically informed cultural commentary with Mechanic Accents: Dime Novels and Working Class Culture in America (1987), and The Cultural Front: the Laboring of American Culture in the Twentieth Century (1997).

Sponsored by the American Cultures and Global Contexts Center and the Center for Creativity and Innovation (English Department), and the Center for Work, Labor and Democracy (History Department).
