In “Skid Road” Josephine Ensign uncovers the stories of overlooked and long-silenced people who have lived on the margins of society throughout Seattle’s history. \nAbout the author: \nJosephine Ensign is professor in the School of Nursing and adjunct professor in the Department of Gender\, Women & Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington. She is author of “Catching Homelessness: A Nurse’s Story of Falling through the Safety Net and Soul Stories: Voices from the Margins.” \nIf you’d like to read the book before the event\, we suggest purchasing from Estelita’s Library\, a local  Black-owned library and community center.
