Join us for a lecture in the Illinois Forum on Human Flourishing in a Digital Age Speaker Series with John Durham Peters, the María Rosa Menocal Professor of English and Professor of Film and Media Studies at Yale University. Peters will consider what the new mode of incessant documentation of raw behavior means for the possibility of both forgiveness and the collective learning process essential to public deliberation.
