Virginia Heffernan

An Evening to Celebrate the Public Humanities in Massachusetts

Virginia Heffernan is considered one of the great sages of the digital revolution and the mysterious ways it is shaping human connection and human consciousness. Part cultural anthropologist, part social seer, and part hip philosopher, Heffernan will leave you thinking, leave you curious, and mostly leave you wanting more. Whether geek or Luddite, utopian or dystopian, don't miss this rare opportunity to hear from someone who knows where this brave new world (or rabbit hole) is taking us.
