Reading Workshop with Anna Kornbluh

Professor Anna Kornbluh (University of Illinois, Chicago) will join us virtually to conduct a workshop inspired by her book Immediacy, Or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism (Verso 2024). We will be discussing the introduction and first chapter which you can access here.
