This past Saturday, I attended the lecture by Siva Vaidhyanathan on "The Googlization of Everything and the Human Knowledge Project."

For the symposium on Saturday, I attended the lecture by Jason Mittell on Media Studies as a Liberal Art: TV storytelling in the Digital Era. I found the talk particularly interesting, especially as a potential media studies major. Mittell shared recently how he was up for tenure at Middlebury College and how during his interview the dean asked him to validate the relevance of having a professor of American Studies and Film and Media Culture at such a fine liberal arts college such as Middlebury.
