“Meet Mill Town: A Roundtable” brings together students I’ve been working with at Harvard with guests from my book and the mill towns of Rumford and Mexico, Maine: Maddy Arsenault, Jim Aylward, Marie Therese (Terry) Martin, and Lisa Russell.

Together, the roundtable will explore questions of community, ecology, and inequality in America.

Maddy Arsenault is my mother and a longtime resident of Mexico and now lives in Freeport, ME; Jim Aylward is the former guidance counselor and former Head Coach of the high school football team at Mountain Valley High; Marie Therese (Terry) Martin is the author of And Poison Fell From the Sky and a former nurse; and Lisa Russell teaches high school math at Mountain Valley High School

The roundtable will be facilitated by undergraduate student discussants Alex White (’23, Government and Public Policy), Jana Amin (’25), and Katie Catulle (’24, English), Aeden Marcus('25, Environmental Science, Engineering), and Eshan Vishwakarma ('26).

This event is sponsored by the Mindich Program in Engaged Scholarship.

The Harvard University media relations policy outlines that the press is not permitted to film or cover events on campus. If individuals attending Harvard sponsored events meet someone or hear something as an attendee that they would like to pursue as a journalist they should contact the Harvard communications team (collegecomms@fas.harvard.edu) to discuss options.

Also journalists, per the above, you can also write to me and I’ll talk about anything!!
