BETWEEN. LIVING LIFE in NEITHER EXTREME 12+

📒 We are bombarded by extremes. Life is presented to us in our social media feeds,by our politicians, and sometimes by our opinionated friends and relatives as ifevery issue were simple and only open to two opposing sides. In our real experiences,though, we often find ourselves between things — between opinions,between places where we spend our time, between identities, between moods,between life stages, between networks of people, and even between preferencesfor clothing styles, food, and furniture. Between: Living Life in Neither Extremetakes issues that emerge from the news, popular culture, and the author’s pastand present experiences and plops them into a set of essays that reflect the realityof our complex and messy lives. From family life to politics, from bodyissues to the workplace, each essay contains bits of sociological wisdom fromthe author, who has spent the last two decades helping students learn about theblurred boundaries of our everyday social lives.
