This one will be a bit different because we have a guest from the UK who is shooting a documentary about the work McKerracher is doing.

More Info:
An intellectually inspiring breakfast presentation followed by discussion, hosted by someone who is doing some cutting edge research.

That someone is David McKerracher and he is the one typing these words, so it's a little weird to refer to myself in third person, but you can read more about me down below the speaker information.

We hope to see you there! People who come to these early morning breakfasts find out about special events that happen later in the day/week.

We keep the RSVP number low, but if it's "full" you can always come and we will have a spill-over table. Whether we've met before or this will be or first time, I look forward to seeing you there.

Were you at the last meeting? If so, what from that meeting that you remember should be made general information for people whenever they join the group or come to their first breakfast?
If not, what questions do you have coming into this?

Everything that follows after this sentence is less important than the fact that the speaker has 10 years of discussion facilitation, public speaking, leadership in various philosophy organizations on and off of college campuses, is an ex-activist of sorts, and has, probably the most crucial of all, a contagious passion for intellectual inspiration and bringing new people in to his wheelhouse.
What is that wheelhouse? It is "underground theory" or "street philosophy" or basically when working class people, workers with earbuds, start getting critical and tuning in to big ideas. Between sociology, philosophy, and critical theory, what he does is "political phenomenology" and "socioanalysis." But this is all just jargon that is likely to come off as intimidating. That is not the point. What you'll find at any event where McKerracher is speaking is an earnest desire to understand, be understood, and revel in the kinds of ideas that a job-centric society has all but snuffed out.
David McKerracher is an instructor at Boise State. He is also the founder of, and a full time teaching-researcher at, Theory Underground (TU). TU is an independent lecture course, research seminar, and book publishing institute for philosophy, theory, and critical media experimentation.
