University of Nike
October 22, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeFrom Powell’s website:
Journalist Joshua Hunt’s University of Nike (Melville House) is the dramatic exposé of how the University of Oregon sold its soul to Nike and what that means for the future of our public institutions and our society. As Hunt shows, Oregon has paid dearly for the veneer of financial prosperity and athletic success that has come with this brand partnering. Hunt will be joined in conversation by David Wolman, author of The End of Money: Counterfeiters, Preachers, Techies, Dreamers—And the Coming Cashless Society.
