Elizabeth Warren The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class: Higher Risks, Lower Rewards, and a Shrinking Safety Net Distinguished law scholar Elizabeth Warren teaches contract law, bankruptcy, and commercial law at Harvard Law School. She is an outspoken critic of America’s credit economy, which she has linked to the continuing rise in bankruptcy among the middle-class. According to Warren, she has “spent decades writing academic books and teaching an entire generation of law students about the rules of money.” Those “rules” include the formal statutes of commercial law, the policy issues inherent in them, and the ethical problems they can produce. Warren joined the faculty of Harvard University in 1992 and has served as the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law since 1995.
Michael Kammen From Thomas Jefferson to Forrest Gump: How the Mall in Washington Became the Nation's Most Venerated Civic Space Michael Kammen is a celebrated Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. Originally a specialist in colonial American history, Kammen has also published extensively on twentieth-century and contemporary American popular culture. A central theme in his wide spectrum of work is the usefulness of history in American society. In exploring this theme Kammen has drawn attention to society’s often fervent proprietorship of its own history and the controversies surrounding its interpretation and use. Kammen has served as the Newton C. Farr Professor of American History and Culture at Cornell University since 1973.
