WorldCanvass: Our Lives Online
The focus of the UI Theme Semester in spring 2017 is the internet, the global system of connectedness that has literally made the world smaller. It enables the efficient processing of complex information, the transfer of knowledge and ideas beyond the borders of language and geography, technological advances few would have dared imagine possible mere decades ago, and rapid communication that can save lives, start a revolution, crowdfund research, and play to both our better and worse natures in interpersonal exchange. WorldCanvass guests will talk with host Joan Kjaer about "Our Lives Online" this evening from 7:30-9:00 p.m., in the Recital Hall of the Voxman Music Building. The public is invited to attend both WorldCanvass and the catered, pre-show reception from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

WorldCanvass ReCap: White Privilege, Structural Racism, and the Dream of America
What does the American dream look like to you? To your neighbor? How does your life experience compare with that of someone from a different ethnic background, a different economic class, or a different religion? These questions were at the heart of the 2016 political debate but their roots are as deep and tangled as the history of America itself. Joan Kjaer and her guests discussed thorny, controversial, and critical issues of social justice in contemporary society. Read more about the event.
