We've made this one public so you can get a taste of what's going on behind the scenes at Theory Underground. Critical Media Theory (CMT) (on the 2nd Sunday of every month 9:00 AM Pacific / 12:00 PM Eastern) may be the most popular and cutting edge field/subject-matter at TU. It's about what we all have in common: Devices that mediate our sensory experience, filter existence, and structure our habits. The McKerracher-Snelgrove synthesis (Dave and Ann) bring a unique teaching approach that combines thinkers such as Marx, McLuhan, Heidegger, Arendt, Baudrillard, Lacan, Ellul, Virilio, Steigler, with popular bestsellers on the topics of smartphone distraction, social media addiction, and more. Through these lecture sessions, the monthly practical experiment/assignments, and presentation/publishing opportunities, students of CMT are able to develop themselves as researchers who are co-pioneering the most relevant field of the most mediated century known to humankind.

Theory Underground is a theory lecture-course centered platform and publishing house. If you want to better understand yourself and the world by asking the hardest questions, wrestling with the most complex problems, and reading the greatest thinkers in the history of philosophy and theory, then welcome. Theory Underground is by and for working class intellectuals, renegade academics, and adults who don’t belong or see a future in anything on offer. Think of Theory Underground like a Jiu Jitsu gym for your brain. Or like a post left theory church. It doesn’t matter. None of the analogies will do it justice. We’re post-identity anyway. Just see if the vibe is right for you. We hope you get something out of it!
