Society and the Digital World

Description

Navigating privacy, ethics, and engagement

In an increasingly digitized world, we are faced with unprecedented challenges—and opportunities—to communicate and engage in the social environment. From fake news and Facebook to pushing social movements and reaching voters, the digital sphere is both an ethical minefield and a valuable public forum. Join Chancellor Carol T. Christ and distinguished faculty and friends as we learn more about the complexities of connecting online. This exclusive event features Edward Wasserman, dean of the School of Journalism; Lisa Garcia Bedolla ’92, professor of education and director of the Institute of Governmental Studies; and Jeffrey MacKie-Mason, university librarian and professor in the School of Information. Moderated by Eugene Martinez ’97, managing partner, Gartner Consulting.
