Is the west coast tech scene too dominant to be considered a counterculture? Or does tech belong right in there alongside the idealists of the 1960s and the liberal beatniks of the 1950s?
Amid the conversation about San Francisco's haves and have-nots, the backlash against the corporate buses, and the unrestrained influx of money and wealth, is there a historical perspective that might shed some light on the whole mess?
Join Fred Turner in conversation with Dan Parham to explore the historical context of the state we're in right now.
Fred Turner is Associate Professor of Communication at Stanford University and a senior editor of Public Culture. He is the author of From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism, and The Democratic Surround: Multimedia and American Liberalism from World War II to the Psychedelic Sixties.
Dan Parham is the CEO and co-founder of Neighborland, a platform where organizations and residents collaborate to build vibrant, resilient cities. Before founding Neighborland, Dan was a Director of User Experience at Yahoo!. Dan received a BFA in Film and Video from the University of North Carolina, and his work has been recognized by the Venice Biennale of Architecture, American Institute of Graphic Arts, and Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum.
Light refreshments will be served.
