TNS Event: “Cons and Scams: Their Place in American Culture”

*NEXT WEEK*
Monday & Tuesday, April 23 – 24
37th Social Research Conference
“Cons and Scams: Their Place in American Culture” will explore cons and scams in their many guises and what makes us vulnerable to them, with particular attention to the current political scene in the US.
Why is the “con” so pervasive in classic American fiction? What transforms us into “marks”? What are the circumstances that allow people to be conned at all?
*This event is free and open to the public*
