Title: NYU DC Policy Discussion: Digital Free Speech--When Does Complicity Become Culpability?
Runtime: 1:32:15

Description: Isabelle, a young tenure-track professor, tests the limits of free speech by encouraging her students to contribute to an unmoderated discussion group, even as her wife, Lee, advises caution. When an anonymous student posts offensive comments and videos, Isabelle must decide whether to intervene or to let the social experiment play out. Soon, the posts turn abusive and threatening, leading Isabelle and her unknown tormentor to engage in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse that not only have Isabelle questioning her beliefs, but fearing for her life.

This event was a policy discussion spurred by the themes surfaced by Norman Yeung's gripping play THEORY playing at Mosaic Theater Company of DC. We explored digital free-speech and the lines between complicity and culpability.

Rooted in the everyday and backlit by mystery, here are poems to savour and return to, for the pleasure of finely honed lines that powerfully evoke the depth of our connections to people, place and nature.

Amid that dynamic, making sense of the unpredictable and contentious political year ahead and its possible business implications, can be enough to cause even the most seasoned C-Suite executives to toss up their hands and shake their heads. Indeed, the stakes in the next election are high for corporations in ways we’re only just now starting to understand as the Democratic presidential primary fight plays out in the shadow of an impeachment inquiry.

Abernathy MacGregor and New York University Washington, DC, joined together for a panel discussion featuring professionals who work at the nexus of business and politics. We explored what corporations need to watch for over the next year as well as the increasing challenges C-Suite executives face as they navigate the uncertainty from Washington to Wall Street and rapidly changing expectations a...

Description: NYU Steinhardt Professor Jan Plass and his team at the CREATE Lab developed 3 mobile game apps that are available for iPhones and Androids (for free!).

They're all designed to improve executive functions. "Executive functions are a basic cognitive skill most of us start to learn in childhood," Professor Plass explains. "They allow you to regulate your emotions—when you feel very strongly about something, how to control that."

Unlike most so-called brain games, these were actually tested empirically (i.e. with real people) thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The researchers found improvement in executive functions after just 20 minutes of playing.

Description: NYU Washington, DC, the John Brademas Center of New York University, and the Brennan Center for Justice hosted an evening discussion featuring Brennan Center Fellow and former FBI special agent Michael German, and Senior Washington News Correspondent for WBUR Boston, Kimberly Atkins.

The events of 9/11 transformed life in the United States —and with it, U.S. law enforcement, especially the FBI. After the attacks, the FBI, once made famous by prosecuting organized crime and corruption, shifted its focus to the disruption of terrorist activity. The problem: their strategy relies upon the discredited theory of “radicalization.” By targeting Muslims, foreigners, communities of color, and dissidents, the FBI pitted American communities against one another. And it ignored the threat of white nationalist violence.

In his new book, Disrupt, Discredit, and Divide, German details the transformation of the FBI from a law enforcement body into a secretive domestic i...
