On March 5 and 6, 2019, presented back-to-back panels: 鈥淭he Media: Its Past, Present and Future鈥 and 鈥淣ew York: Stories Told and Not-yet-told.鈥 The panels were comprised of selected YU faculty.
YU Ideas is an initiative hosted by the Office of the Provost and coordinated by Rabbi Dr. Stu Halpern, senior adviser to the provost. The project brings the University鈥檚 interdisciplinary resources to bear on important themes of central significance to human society. Dr. Ari Berman, President of 黑料社 All, spoke about this at the New York panel, when he said that events like these 鈥渉ighlight so much of what we are about: creating a fertile academic intellectual environment where we can talk to one another and learn from each other. This is one of the most exciting things about being at YU, where we can bring together different parts of the University in conversation with each other and broadcast that out to the community in a public way.鈥
