Join Richard R. John, professor of history and communications, for a discussion about some of the most influential public figures shaping U.S. tech platforms today. As the bounds of tech move into the public sphere, should we be looking to tech leaders as thought leaders too? Participants will be sent Peter Thiel’s essay “The Straussian Moment” and are encouraged to read it and bring questions.
