DESCRIPTION:Author ALLISON PUGH will be at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore to present her new 
 book "The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World", 
 which explores the human connections that underlie our work and argues that 
 what people do for each other in these settings is valuable and worth 
 preserving. Allison will be joined in conversation by ALEX HANNA and will 
 sign copies of her book after the presentation.\n\nALLISON PUGH is 
 professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of 
 "The Tumbleweed Society: Working and Caring in an Age of Insecurity" and 
 "Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture". Her 
 writing has appeared in leading publications such as The New Yorker, the 
 New York Times, and the New Republic.\n\nDR. ALEX HANNA is Director of 
 Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR). A sociologist by 
 training, her work centers on the data used in new computational 
 technologies, and the ways in which these data exacerbate racial, gender, 
 and class inequality. With Dr. Emily M. Bender, Alex is working on "The AI 
 Con" (forthcoming Spring 2025, Harper Books), a book about AI and the hype 
 around it.\n\nThis is a free event, but you must pre-register on 
 Eventbrite.com or in the store to ensure seating.\n
