Join Oregon Humanities for a conversation about trust, work, and poverty with Stephanie Land, author of the books Maid and Class. In her two best-selling memoirs, Land writes about cleaning houses and struggling to get by as a single mom in the Northwest. During this time she found herself both trusted and distrusted: Her clients entrusted her with the intimate details of their lives, but she was forced to demonstrate over and over again that she was eligible for the meager public assistance she received.

Stephanie Land's writing focuses on social and economic justice, as well as parenting under the poverty line. Her bestselling debut book, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive, was adapted into a limited series on Netflix. The book details Land’s personal experience with poverty, relying on government assistance programs to support herself and her daughter. Maid has sold half a million copies worldwide and has been translated into thirty languages. Land’s second book, Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education, follows her senior year in college and her daughter’s first year of kindergarten, noting the parallels between the two’s experiences as they faced socioeconomic barriers to get themselves to class.

Described as “both very traditional and highly flexible” by Folkworld Magazine’s Alex Monaghan, and as “one of the most energetic and creative acts to take root in the local Celtic music scene this century” by Boston Irish Reporter Sean Smith, Scottish Fish present a fresh take on traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. After growing up steeped in the Boston Celtic music scene, these five young women began touring at an early age, quickly enchanting domestic and international audiences with their youthful enthusiasm, creative arrangements, and sensitive performances. As described by a concertgoer, “this powerhouse quintet wows listeners with a luscious and exciting sound, at times five instruments sharing one voice, and others a dynamic orchestra of harmony. Their years of friendship cultivate a truly unique musical bond. Their love for each other and the music they create is a gift they offer to anyone willing to listen.”
