The Fireside is the monthly newsletter of the Living New Deal, which replaced our former quarterly newsletters in 2020.
The Fireside features articles and opinion by leading writers and scholars on art, politics, social issues, the economy and more. It features selections of current media coverage about the New Deal then and now, and highlights upcoming lectures, exhibitions, performances and other public events on New Deal topics.
