What We Owe: Living With Debt
A Conversation Facilitated by April Slabosheski Thursday April 11, 2019 7:00 p.m. Join this discussion about how debt affects our lives! Debt has bound people together and driven them apart for millennia. Oppressive debt has played a role in major social revolutions that have resulted in the clearing of debt records, yet there are other debts, like the cost of being born, for which many could not imagine demanding repayment. In the past ten years, US national debt and personal debt have reached all-time highs—levels at which full repayment may seem implausible. How does debt shape the way we relate to one another? How do we decide which debts we will repay, and which we will not? This program is made possible by the generous support of Oregon Humanities, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Oregon Cultural Trust.
