Metropolis Rising takes you on a journey that reveals the critical insights and imaginative power born of each guest's personal stories. Professor Nicholas De Genova engages big ideas by focusing a fine-grained lens on the formative experiences that have shaped his guests’ perspectives, exploring how their individual biographies have intersected with history and shaped how they have intervened in social and political struggles. These conversations become a record of the history of our times and a provocation for changing how we live.
