Make sure to tune into WOL 1450 AM, 95.9 FM, and the WOL Livestream on October 17 at 10:30 AM EDT for “Everything Co-op,” hosted by Vernon Oakes. This week’s episode features an interview with Nathan Schneider, professor of media studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Vernon and Nathan will discuss his book Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition that Is Shaping the Next Economy, and the role that he feels cooperatives play in helping us reclaim faith in our capacity for creative, powerful democracy.
Nathan Schneider is a professor of Media Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he directs the Media Economies Design Lab and engages deeply with his students. He has authored books on topics such as online democracy, cooperative enterprise, the Occupy movement and God, and has edited works on crypto and co-ops. His prolific writing includes articles for both magazines and academic journals, reflecting his commitment to chronicling ideas and exploring the potential of perfect worlds and ordinary imaginations in practice. Schneider views every word as a hypothesis and a test, acutely aware that even the most casual remark contributes to the irrevocable construction of our world. Working with others to build a democratic economy keeps him grounded and accountable.
