Join us for a Virtual chat with journalist, professor, filmmaker and longtime Syracuse resident, Michael Streissguth, as he discusses his most recent book City on the Edge: Hard Choices in the American Rust Belt. Following the stories of five Syracuse residents—a young survivor of the streets, a refugee from Cuba, an urban farmer, a community activist and a city elder—City on the Edge offers insight into the reasons why individuals chose to remain in a struggling metropolis. In this lecture, professor Streissguth will examine these motivations and will take us on a deep dive into the social, political and cultural challenges confronting Syracuse today. A brief Q&A will follow professor Streissguth’s discussion.
