Humanities Washington’s next “Think & Drink” at Greenwood’s Naked City Brewery is on Wednesday, Dec. 11, with a timely topic: “Tis the Season: Holiday Shopping and the American Consumer Culture.”
This free event will put our holiday shopping season into perspective, asking: How did America become a consumer culture? Does our race, class or gender influence how we shop and what we buy? And how does our consumption affect the economy – and our community?
This Think & Drink discussion will be led by Linda Nash and Meenakshi Rishi and moderated by Steve Scher. Nash is a professor of U.S. cultural history at the University of Washington. Rishi is professor of economics at Seattle University. Scher is host of KUOW radio’s The Record.
This free event starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Naked City Brewery & Taphouse, 8564 Greenwood Ave. N.
