On Tuesday November 1, Matthew Desmond will discuss his book Evicted as part of the UW’s Go Big Read events: https://gobigread.wisc.edu/. Desmond, a MacArthur Fellow who is currently at Harvard, received his Ph.D. in Sociology from University of Wisconsin-Madison. The research for Evicted began when he was a graduate student. In addition to Desmond’s ethnographic and other research, Evicted features findings from the Milwaukee Area Renters Study (MARS), conducted for Desmond by the UW Survey Center: http://scholar.harvard.edu/mdesmond/mars-data.
