📚 Lecture: “Class, Status, and Luxury Beliefs”

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Rob Henderson

Join us for a compelling evening as Dr. Rob Henderson dives into his personal journey from foster care to academic success, illuminating the profound impact of social class on identity, outlook, and opportunity. Drawing from both his life experiences and extensive academic research, Dr. Henderson will address the unique challenges faced by those who grow up with instability and the lasting effects this childhood has on their lives.

In this insightful lecture, Dr. Henderson introduces the concept of "luxury beliefs," critiquing how affluent individuals often promote ideals that, while well-intentioned, inadvertently burden impoverished and marginalized communities. Through his narrative—spanning from his time in the U.S. Air Force to receiving degrees from Yale and the University of Cambridge—he reflects on broader societal themes of resilience and the systemic challenges that countless disadvantaged children endure.

Rob Henderson is a bestselling author and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. His writing has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Boston Globe, and he engages over 70,000 subscribers through his popular Substack newsletter.
