My Talk At Yale

Speaking about "Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class"

Below is a transcript of a lecture I delivered at Yale.

Thank you, Trevor. Thanks, Lauren, thanks, Moa, Ari, and thanks to all of you for being here today. It’s true, as Trevor mentioned, I haven’t been in New Haven for 6 years. I understand that about 4 years ago, Yale abandoned the SAT requirement, so I’m going to try to simplify this talk for the Yale students in attendance.
