Dr. Broughton is a senior lecturer in Public Policy Studies in the College. He is the author of Boom, Bust, Exodus: The Rust Belt, the Maquilas, and a Tale of Two Cities, a ground-level look at the rapid transition to a globalized economy, from the perspective of those whose lives it has most deeply affected. The book is based on several years of fieldwork in the U.S. and Mexico and is told through interwoven stories of people, places, and policies.  Wednesday Lunch is a Divinity School tradition started many decades ago.  At noon on Wednesdays when the quarter is in session a delicious vegetarian meal is made in the Swift Hall kitchen by our student chefs and lunch crew.  Once the three-course meal has reached dessert each week there is a talk by a faculty member or student from throughout the University, a community member from the greater Chicago area, or a guest from a wider distance.  Many times these talks focus on various aspects of religion in public life and the academic study of religion, but not always.  Sometimes there are musical performances instead of a talk.  All are welcome (you do not have to be a Divinity School student or faculty or staff to come.

Wednesday Lunch with Chad Broughton

In today’s shifting global economy countries must often make rapid transitions to meet the increased demands of globalization. In the midst of this, it is easy for everyday citizens to ignore or forget what these transitions involve, where they take place and who is most affected by them. Chad Broughton will examine these global effects and specifically the US – Mexico relationship through the lens of industrial manufacturing in two North American towns. As thousands of jobs have migrated from the United States to Mexico, Broughton argues that what truly matters in debating the consequences of the shift is not just politics or policy implications, but also who is affected and where these changes take place. Broughton will share the voices of those who have borne the heaviest burdens of recent economic upheavals by putting a human face to the constant cycle of global manufacturing and looking at the true cost of globalization.Chad Broughton, Senior Lecturer, Public Policy Studies, University of Chicago, will be in conversation.For more information about this event please visit: http://www.worldaffairs.org/events/event/1397
