Art and Open Source-A Panel Discussion

Once
the nearly exclusive purview of lawyers and librarians, questions of
copyrights, freedom of information, and open source programming now reach into
the lives of everyone. From the knock-off Prada bag, to the distribution of
music, to questions of privacy that could impact national security—all of these
issues and more come to the fore with currently available technologies.
Previously accepted precepts and practices are being challenged from all sides.
Moderated by students from the blog Wesleying.org, this panel of Wesleyan
faculty and students will explore these engaging issues with audience participation
invited. Panelists include Assistant Professor of Sociology Greg Goldberg, Dean
of Social Sciences Joyce Jacobsen, Max Dietz '16, and Isabella Litke '12 (Ph.D.
Candidate at Princeton University).
