Lecture: Dialogues on the internet

  • Memorial Union Madison, Wisconsin (map)

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking event where we explore what the future of the internet could—and should—look like. Led by students, this conversation will dive into four key pillars shaping our digital world: access, education, identity, and innovation.

As we move deeper into a tech-driven society, it's time to rethink the platforms we use, the values we uphold online, and the kind of digital spaces we want to create. This event highlights individual visions for a better internet, including open-source marketplaces, inclusive online education, internet access as a human right, and authentic digital identity.

Inspired by works like Private Eye, Neuromancer, and real-world initiatives like Khan Academy and public broadband access, our panel will share personal reflections and bold ideas for building a more equitable, connected, and human-centered internet.
