What this talk is about

The Hang Theory. A lecture series by Hang Dallas.

One speaker. One big idea. One good room.

Where · 2700 SWISS Event Space.

Dallas calls itself a city of pioneers, but the pioneers keep changing. Southern migrants, Mexican families, the 1980s corporate wave, arrivals from California and India today: each generation remade what Dallas meant, and each time the city's self-image lagged behind the population that actually lived here. Dr. Michael Phillips walks through who moved to Dallas in each era, how those arrivals reshaped civic identity, and why the mythology still doesn't match the map.
