ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I live in Berkeley, I grew up in Denver and I was educated at CU Boulder and Yale. I wrote a book about class struggle, conspiracy laws and conspiracy theories during the age of monopoly. I am Associate Teaching Professor of American Studies and African American Studies at UC Berkeley. You can write to me at mmcohen@berkeley.edu. You can find my public essays on Medium. Including my big hit from 2014.

The photo below is of me at an undisclosed location and in disguise, late into the third hour of Fred Wiseman’s documentary, At Berkeley (2013).
