May 2 - Culture Clash: Acknowledging Where Vermonters Don't See Eye to Eye
Jane Lindholm, Host, Vermont Edition, VT Public Radio
After 20 years away, living and traveling in places as varied as
Nairobi, Los Angeles, and Bangkok, Vermont native Jane Lindholm found
herself back in her home state, renting an apartment in a house in
Charlotte. It was in that seemingly mundane location that she witnessed
the most profound culture clash of her life. Using her own experience as
backdrop, Lindholm explores where class, race, and culture collide in
Vermont and why she thinks we don't do enough to acknowledge our
cultural differences.
