Charla de Merienda Presents: The American Dream or American Carnage?

Friday, February 1, 2019 at 12:00 p.m. in The Commons @ Spooner Hall

The American Dream? A National Emergency? As the country is embroiled in a debate about immigration and national security, a subject that expressly concerns America’s identity and its values, let us come together to share facts, discuss opinions, and build common ground on a topic that touches all of us. Charla de Merienda asks: what does it mean to be American? Who gets to define it? What would you do to “pass” as something you’re “not”?
