Sawyer Seminar Event Series: Christopher Newfield

“What Criticism Teaches: The University Conditions of Non-Economic Life.” Drawing on scholarship about the value of suspending economic incentives in everyday life, Dr. Newfield will argue that public universities must replace a financial model that harms education and erodes solvency.

His presentation will also examine and challenge the belief that “learning equals earning” amid deep dependence on debt, asset inflation, and risk management.
