Advising the Future: Urban Anthropology, Higher Ed, and Coming of Age in America

Hard Hats and Higher Consciousness: A Conversation with Roy Montalbano

Tune in to "The Sociology of Us" for a discussion with Roy Montalbano. In "Hard Hats and Higher Consciousness," the intersection of labor, identity, and personal growth is examined, exploring how work shapes our worldview and connects people to something deeper. He’s a contractor who named his son after Aldous Huxley. A working-class philosopher who grew up with me. This week on The Sociology of Us, my friend Roy Montalbano joins me to talk about job sites, class, masculinity, and what the world gets wrong about people who build it. You don’t want to miss this one. #WorkingClassIntellect #SociologyOfUs #RealTalkRealWork
