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.
The thing I learned most at Silberman was how to bring my full self into the work. Regardless of the population being served or problem being addressed, my time at Silberman taught me how to use my own authenticity and lived experiences to generate meaningful, high-quality outcomes for clients.
