Dartmouth Events

‌Writer, teacher, and documentary film producer Peter B. Kaufman is senior program officer at MIT Open Learning and founder and executive producer of Intelligent Television. In The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge, he argues that ongoing efforts to find the right balance between state, society, and private entities' control of knowledge have historical roots in the Enlightenment and that the free flow of information is crucial in our networked age. He discusses the special role that universities must play to enable more equitable sharing of knowledge and to combat the current problem of pervasive disinformation.

Kaufman will be interviewed by John Willinsky, professor emeritus at the Stanford Graduate School of Education.

This is the sixth event of the Academic Innovation for the Public Good 2023 book conversation series, co-organized by Stanford Digital Education and Trinity College and supported by DCAL.
