In a departure from the traditional STS colloquium format, Turkle will sit with technology journalist Wade Roush (PhD 1994) for a "fireside chat" about the threads that led to her recent line of research, and her hopes for a future with an expanded place for our most basic technology—talk. </div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">For a copy of the chapter “Flight from Conversation" from Prof. Turtkle’s book, Reclaiming Conversation, please contact me and I will be happy to forward you the PDF file.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><br class=""></div></font></div></span></div></div></div><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-auto;" class="">Thank you and see you there!</span><div class=""><b class="" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Helvetica;"><br class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Helvetica;"><img apple-inline="yes" id="96915291-E946-4871-9F8B-2E99A8801447" height="612" width="792" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:786FF89C-CFB6-4991-B1C4-65E9D8CFDCFA@mit.edu" class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Helvetica;"><br class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Helvetica;"><br class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="" style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Helvetica;">____________________________________________</b><br class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class="" style="font-family: ArialMT;"><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#1f497d"><b class="">Gus Zahariadis</b></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#1f497d"><b class="">Assistant to the Director</b></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#1f497d"><b class="">Program in Science, Technology, and Society</b></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#1f497d"><b class="">T: (617) 253-3452</b></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#1f497d"><b class="">F: (617) 258-8118</b></font></div><div class=""><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#1f497d"><b class=""><br class=""></b></font></div></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
