Henry Jenkins' farewell

Submitted by Ingeborg on April 23, 2010 - 3:30pm

For those of us who miss Henry Jenkins' familiar figure around the MIT campus, last night's Farewell at the MIT Communications Forum was a delight. For those of you who missed it you'll just have to wait until the audio and video appear on the Communications Forum website. It's worth seeing.

The audience reception was the closest thing I've seen to a standing ovation at an MIT talk. Most MIT audiences can't stand up since they have laptops on their laps. Happy trails, Henry!

Forum: Our World Digitized: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

MIT Communications Forum, April 10, 2008

Speakers:
Yochai Benkler and Cass Sunstein, moderated by Henry Jenkins

Much discussion of our impending digital future is insular and without nuance. Skeptics talk mainly among themselves, while utopians and optimists also keep company mainly within their own tribal cultures. The forum challenges this unhelpful division, staging a conversation between two of our country’s most thoughtful and influential writers on the promise and the perils of the Internet Age.
