Chapter Meeting:

Speaker: Carrie Lane

Dr. Carrie Lane is Professor and Chair of American Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where she teaches about work, gender, and community. Her new book, More Than Pretty Boxes: How the Rise of Professional Organizing Shows Us the Way We Work Isn't Working, explores the growing demand for organizing services and what draws so many people, especially women, to become organizers. She also uses organizing’s rise as a lens for thinking through the nature of overwork and overwhelm in the United States today. Carrie earned her PhD in American Studies from Yale University and her BA in anthropology and women’s studies from Princeton University. She lives in Los Angeles with her family.
