Uncharted Episode 25: Class Cluelessness

America is sometimes described as a class-free society — a view not shared by UC Hastings law professor Joan Williams.

In October 2017, Williams sat down with media innovator Peter Leyden at Berkeleyside's fifth annual Uncharted Berkeley Festival of Ideas in Berkeley to deliver some hard truths about class bias and friction, and how it relates to our current political landscape.
