Featuring Eric Klinenberg with Kim Phillips-Fein.

2020 will go down alongside 1914, 1929, and 1968 as one of the most consequential years in history. Acclaimed sociologist and best-selling author Eric Klinenberg's latest book, '2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed,' is the first attempt to capture the full human experience of that fateful time.

At the heart of 2020 are seven vivid profiles of ordinary New Yorkers—including an elementary school principal, a bar manager, a subway custodian, and a local political aide—whose experiences illuminate how Americans, and people across the globe, reckoned with 2020. Klinenberg vividly captures these stories, casting them against the backdrop of a high-stakes presidential election, a surge of misinformation, rising distrust, and raging protests. 2020 not only helps us reckon with what we lived through, but also with the challenges we face before the next crisis arrives.

At this event, Eric discusses the book with Robert Gardiner-Kenneth T. Jackson Professor of History at Columbia University, Kim Phillips-Fein.

This 7 Stories Up event was recorded live on March 4, 2024, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL).
