Postdoc Researcher Eleni Schirmer on Democracy Now!

Eleni Schirmer, the Barry Pashak Postdoctoral Fellow at Concordia University's Social Justice Centre, is featured in an interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now about student debts.

The interview is about the Supreme Court hearing of arguments in two challenges to the Biden administration’s student debt relief plan, which could give tens of millions of federal borrowers up to $20,000 of relief.

Eleni Schirmer, who organizes with the Debt Collective, wrote a new piece in The New Yorker is headlined “How the Government Cancelled Betty Ann’s Debts" which is a follow up on her piece last summer, “The Aging Student Debtors of America: In an era of declining wages and rising debt, Americans are not aging out of their student loans—they are aging into them.”
