Please join for a series of events connected to The Most Costly Journey, co-edited by Assoc. Prof. Teresa Mares and chosen by Vermont Humanities as its Vermont Reads 2022 book. Attendees of the panel and discussion event on 11/3 can receive a free copy of the book.

The Most Costly Journey (El Viaje Más Caro) reveals the stories of 19 migrant farmworkers. Told in their own words, and illustrated by New England cartoonists in a variety of styles, each short chapter describes aspects of life as an immigrant farm worker in Vermont: crossing the southern border, struggling with English, adapting to winter, growing gardens, raising children, dealing with health crises, and working long hours.

◼ Wed. 11/2, Film screening of "Hide" (and potential Q&A w/ the director), 4-5pm, 308 Terrill
