SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"\"Information Technology and the Dream of Democratic Renewal\"\rCenter for Advanced Study\rCAS\/MillerComm Lecture Series"
DESCRIPTION:"\rLangdon Winner\rGeorge A. Miller Endowment Professor, University of Illinois\rThomas Phelan Chair of Humanities and Social Sciences, Rensselaer\rPolytechnic Institute\r\rA colorful theme in American thought is the belief that new technologies will revitalize democratic society, enabling citizens to become more effectively self-governing. Hopes of this kind have reappeared in every generation since the early nineteenth century, a standard motif in the nation's political rhetoric. With the arrival of digital technology and the Internet, this enduring vision has been powerfully rekindled. Will the dream of democratic renewal be realized this time around, or derailed by mechanisms of inequality and centralized control?\r\rFor more information about this event and its content, please visit\rthe CAS website (external link) or call the CAS Events Line at\r(217) 333-1118. For more information about Spurlock Museum facilities\ror for other inquiries, contact Brian Cudiamat at (217) 333-0889.\r\r\rMuseum visitors are reminded that food and drinks are not allowed in the Museum. Backpacks and other large items brought to the Museum will have to be stored; there is limited locker storage space available for these items.\r"
