Berkman Klein Announces Spring Speaker Series

The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society is thrilled to announce the Spring Speaker Series! Building on the success of the RSM Speaker Series, launched by the Institute for Rebooting Social Media in the fall of 2023, this topical event series will host a wide slate of academics, industry experts, and tech professionals to share cutting-edge research and ideas related to artificial intelligence, social media, and more.

This weekly series will take place at the Berkman Klein Center’s offices in Cambridge, MA, and virtually via Zoom on Wednesdays from 12:30-1:30 PM ET. In-person attendance is open to Harvard ID holders, but all are welcome to join virtually. Lunch will be provided for in-person guests.
