Pritzker Fellow Steve Hayes on "Hyperspeed: The Internet & the Democratization of Information"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Thursday, October 20

3:30-4:45 PM

The speed of information today was inconceivable just twenty years ago. There is more information available to us in an instant on our phones than could have been housed in the more extensive college libraries. How have these changes affected our consumption of news?

Special Guest (via Zoom): Christine Rosen, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute & Fellow at the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

This convening is open to current UChicago students who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Ashley Jorn (ashleyjorn@uchicago.edu).
