Book Talk with Jillian Berman – Sunk Cost: Who is to Blame for the Nation’s Broken Student Loan System – May 16
Posted by Making Worlds Bookstore & Social Center on May 13, 2025
Join us for a book talk with author Jillian Berman, Philly Council Member Kendra Brooks, and local activists Dr. Jalil Bishop and Justice Passé.
In Sunk Cost, Jillian Berman uses interviews with borrowers, policymakers and historical research to show how a policy aimed at helping low- and middle-income Americans turned into one of the biggest consumer finance challenges of our time. One of the borrowers featured is Philadelphia’s own Kendra Brooks. Join Jillian, Councilmember Brooks and Philadelphia-based student debt organizers Dr. Jalil Bishop and Justice Passé to discuss the policies that got us to this point and how we can usher in a better future.
Date and Time: May 16th, 5:00-6:00 PM
Location: Making Worlds Bookstore, 210 S 45th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
