About

Why do stereotypes claiming that working-class voters are more likely to be conservative persist—despite historical evidence to the contrary? Explore why negative images of workers have endured across the decades, and how a resurgence of class condescension perpetuates social and economic inequality today with Professor Dorothy Sue Cobble

Dorothy Sue Cobble is a distinguished professor at Rutgers University's School of Management and Labor Relations and a Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians.

The History Forum series unpacks the history behind today’s headlines. Join six national scholars of American history as they explore the history that helps us understand and unravel the issues we face right now. Attend, engage, and draw your own conclusions.
