Hobart William Smith Speaker Series: "Internet Memes: The good, the bad, the ugly"

Join Wood Library for the return of our Hobart William Smith Seminar series via Zoom.  Professor Leah Shafer will discuss "Internet Memes: the good, the bad, and the ugly" In this engaging, media-filled talk, we will engage with the short but powerful history of the Internet meme. Have you ever wondered why cat videos were so popular? Why short videos of mild violence are so funny? What lies behind the recent rise of far-right Internet communities? This talk will engage the Internet meme as a cultural phenomenon and as an art form.  Registration required for Zoom Code
