Rising tuition and skyrocketing student debt have fundamentally reshaped higher education in recent decades, with toxic effects on all of society, both in the U.S. and globally. Join filmmaker and Debt Collective co-founder Astra Taylor and South African academics and organizers Leigh-Ann Naidoo and Kelly Gillespie (moderator) for a conversation on student debt, the crisis of global capitalism, and global movements fighting to end debt and transform higher education. The conversation follows the screening of You Are Not a Loan, directed by Taylor and starring Naidoo, among other leading U.S. and international activists and academics.

Part of the 2024–25 Feinberg Family Distinguished Lecture Series, "What Are Universities For? Struggles for the Soul of Higher Education."
