DESCRIPTION:What drives voters to the election booth? Dr. Arlie Hochschild, UC Berkeley 
 sociologist and author of New York Times best seller “Strangers in their 
 Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right,” embarked on a 
 journey to the Deep South to explore this very question. What she found 
 were lives damaged by lost jobs, poor wages and an elusive American dream. 
 As she connected and became friends with the people she met, she was 
 surprised to discover that their values mirrored the liberal values she 
 grew up with, including a desire for community, the importance of family 
 and hopes for their children. She came to appreciate how strongly emotions, 
 including years of anger and frustration, drive political preference for 
 many far-right voters.\n\nWhat role did “emotion in politics” play in 
 the results of the 2016 election? What feelings motivate Trump supporters 
 and Tea Partiers to support these movements? Why do citizens who would seem 
 to benefit most from “liberal” government programs detest the party 
 that passed them? Dr. Hochschild will share her observations and the 
 stories of those who have felt like strangers in their own land.\n\nAs part 
 of our "Engage" series, this event features a post-discussion Q&A, when you 
 will have the chance to participate directly with the speaker and gain 
 incredible insights that you won't get anywhere else.\n\nSPEAKERS\nArlie
