The new series Media Lab Conversations will host visionaries who work at the intersection of technology, art, and enterprise. Earlier this week, the program featured Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig, who is also the director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University.
Lessig spoke on "One Way Forward: The Outsider's Guide to Fixing a Republic." Lessig's current academic work addresses the question of institutional corruption in a number of contexts. Click the image to view the video, which was posted the day after the event.
Next up in the series is Wadah Khanfar, president of the Sharq Forum, an international think tank focused on political and economic development in the Arab world, and former director general of the Al Jazeera network. His talk is entitled "One Year After Mubarak: The Past and Future of the 'Arab Spring.'" Khanfar's talk will be followed by a dialogue with Joi Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab; Ethan Zuckerman, director of MIT's Center for Civic Media; and Mohamed Nanabhay, head of online at Al Jazeera English, as well as questions and answers with the audience.
