Professor Earner will be presenting at the, “The Dream of America Separation & Sacrifice in the Lives of North Country Latino Immigrants,” event at the Folklife Center in the Crandall Public Library on Saturday April 9, 2016. This event takes us from the milking parlors of surrounding counties to the cinder-block homes of Coyula, Guadalajara, Mexico, and back again. This straightforward perspective asks that we consider without bias or stereotype, the work being done, and the lives and sacrifices of the workers. Hard work and separation are underlying themes of these immigrants’ lives. Click here for more information.
Social work is all about relationships; the relationships you develop with your clients, your colleagues, and the community. Silberman taught me the value of developing those relationships. When you join the Silberman community, you gain more than just an education, you gain a lifetime of resources.
