In our latest speaker series, Class Unity discusses class, capitalism and higher education with Mitch Hernandez and Adam Rensch.

Mitch Hernandez is a doctoral candidate in the cultural studies and comparative literature department of the University of Minnesota. His general interests include the history of neoliberalism and the development of subjectivity in its regimes. His dissertation focuses on the university as a site of clandestine social reproduction.

Adam Rensch received his PhD in English and creative writing from the University of Illinois, Chicago. He writes for the Brooklyn Rail on class politics and inequality. His current book project traces the historical relationship between the university creative writing programs and the decline of working class literature.
