Evicted desmond5/9/2023 Matthew Desmond is Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, Desmond transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. In this lecture, based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Evicted, Matthew Desmond tells the story of eight families in Milwaukee as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads.
