For those who missed last November's lecture by Google CEO Eric Schmidt, "Sustaining Success in a Challenging Economy," or last week's panel, "Computer Surveillance and the War on Terrorism: Promoting National Security or a Return to McCarthyism?" featuring Jon Delano, David Farber, Pradeep Khosla, Peter Madsen, Peter Shane, and Latanya Sweeney, these and other programs are available for viewing at http://insites.heinz.cmu.edu/events/past_events/ * * * Verizon Lecture Event Speaker: Bruno Lanvin, Program Manager, infoDev, World Bank Date: Thursday March 13 Time: 12:30 - 2:00pm Location: Hamburg Hall Auditorium Bruno Lanvin, program manager for the World Bank's outreach program, will give a Verizon Foundation Distinguished Lecture at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, March 13, in Hamburg Hall. Lanvin will discuss the global "digital divide," as well as efforts to foster international social and economic development through technology. The lecture is free and open to the public. Before joining the World Bank in 2000, Bruno Lanvin was the head of Electronic Commerce in UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) in Geneva, and held several high-level positions in the United Nations, specializing in international trade issues related to services and telecommunications. From 2000 to 2002 he was the executive secretary of DOT Force, the Digital Opportunity Task Force set up by the G-8 in July 2000. Lanvin holds an M.A. in mathematics and physics, an MBA from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales in Paris, France, and a Ph.D. in economics from La Sorbonne. The Verizon Foundation Distinguished Lecture series was established at Carnegie Mellon's H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management in 1998 to bring experts in the telecommunications and information technology fields to the university. The Verizon series facilitates sharing ideas, discussing trends, exploring applications of technology and investigating the effects of technology on the broader society. Lanvin's lecture is coordinated by Carnegie Mellon's Institute for the Study of Information Technology and Society (InSITeS). The institute draws on the expertise of about 60 Carnegie Mellon faculty from a variety of disciplines, plus an equally large national network of leading legal thinkers, and fosters collaboration in research, curricular development, policy analysis and public outreach projects aimed at addressing the social, economic, political, ethical, psychological, cultural and legal aspects of information technology.
