29 Campaign School: Andrew Cash Start: 01/29/2012 14:00 Andrew Cash, the Member of Parliament for Davenport — the riding in which the Academy is located — will join us to talk about how he explored the political system through music and journalism, then spent a couple of years building the local momentum required to win a seat in Ottawa. Some participatory exercises will follow.

And when it comes to understanding new technology, adults have always remarked that a tween has a more intuitive grasp on how it works — although a divide is now also reflected in all areas of culture, politics and society. Recently, the battle over the Stop Online Piracy Act in the U.S. shed light on how the generation gap has widened in different ways, even as people of all ages are now living online. So, what would be necessary to get a critical mass of the population on the same page when it comes to recognizing the advantages and limitations of how we all communicate now?

Led by Jesse Hirsh the session will focus on why hacking reality is a natural response to our world, how it has evolved over the years, and where it will go from here.

"Participating in the Metaviews Teleseminar is one of the highlights of my week. I get the opportunity to listen and engage with people who are at the cutting edge of exploring emerging technology and society. The discussion not only challenges and advances my thinking, it also provides me with topics that I can use to help my colleagues and organization as a whole increase their cyber-literacy and participation in online environments." - Metaviews subscriber
