The

The inaugural symposium featured a lecture by Stanford Professor
of Law Lawrence Lessig on "Architecting Innovation"

Software." The panel featured Brown, Lessig, and Michael D. Cohen, the William D. Hamilton Collegiate Professor of Complex Systems at SI.

Her talk, on what is often termed "multimedia literacy," was "Screen as Vernacular: An Expanding Concept of Literacy."
