The College of Media, Communication and Information (CMCI), the Center for Western Civilization, Thought & Policy (CWCTP), and BoulderTalks are pleased to present an evening with Thomas Frank on Monday, October 3, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in Math 100. Frank will be giving a public lecture, "What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?" at the University of Colorado Boulder. Frank's recently published book by the same name suggests that "a form of corporate and cultural elitism has largely eclipsed the party's old working-class commitment." 

Thomas Frank is a journalist whose articles have appeared in the Financial Times, Harper’s Magazine, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Salon, The American Prospect, The Guardian, The Nation, and Wall Street Journal. He is the author of eight books, including the New York Times bestseller What’s the Matter with Kansas? His most recent book, Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People, was published in March 2016.

Frank’s visit is part of the CMCI lecture series highlighting diverse political perspectives from media professionals and public intellectuals. Author, columnist, talk radio host, and Fox News contributor Meghan McCain will be speaking November 17th as part of this series.
