In episode six of Faculty Spotlight, Mark and Lauren sit down with R.H. Lossin, postdoctoral fellow at Harvard's Warren Center of Studies in American History and a leading scholar of the theory and practice of sabotage. The three discuss: what led R.H. to the study of sabotage; why sabotage is more ordinary than you think; R.H.'s beef with the "universal library"—i.e., the total digitization of books; how readers have become producers; why Luddites have a bad rap; the meaning of "capitalist sabotage"; and the violent origins of all private property—among other scintillating subjects.
