Nov. 11, 2009: Film Screening and Discussion: The Carter
QD3 Entertainment, the Annenberg School and Dean Ernest J. Wilson III present a discussion with communication and journalism professor Josh Kun and renowned artist Quincy Jones III following a special screening of the modern documentary The Carter, a "shockingly intimate portrait" of Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., aka Lil' Wayne. The documentary, executive produced by Jones along with Jared Freeman, was directed by Adam Bhala Lough and produced by Lough and Josh Krause. Wayne, an internationally known rapper whose most recent album went platinum in one week, has been said to be "the voice of his generation." The Carter is "an intoxicating, cinematic journey into the thoughts and world of an extremely complicated man whose creative force is something to behold." Following him all over the country and to Amsterdam, Lough mixes fly-on-the-wall footage of Lil' Wayne in his hotel room and on his bus with artfully composed concert footage, capturing "one of the most inspired (and eccentric) musicians of modern America." The screening will be followed by a student-led discussion with Jones.

Nov. 9, 2009: Annenberg Research Seminar: Nicole Ardoin
Join students and faculty for a presentation by Nicole Ardoin, assistant professor at the school of education and center fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University. Her topic: "Sense of place and environmental behavior: Communicating and educating for environmental change." From Dr. Ardoin: "As we face increasingly pressing large-scale environmental issues, questions abound around how best to move people to action. Many researchers and conservation practitioners believe that deep, rooted place connections motivate place-protective behaviors, yet little empirical research has critically examined this assumption. In this talk, I will share results from recent research into the relationship between: sense of place; the scale at which place connections occur; and how place relationships impact environmental behavior. Based on what the findings suggest about how place connections may--or may not--impact environmental behavior at a range of geographic scales, I will discuss the implications for educating and communicating for social and behavioral change."

Nov. 4, 2009: Visions & Voices presents: Art, Culture, Politics: A Conversation with Shepard Fairey
Join communication professor Sarah Banet-Weiser for a conversation with Shepard Fairey, a contemporary artist, graphic designer and political and social activist. He emerged from the skateboarding scene in the mid-1990s and has since established his own "brand" as a cultural entrepreneur. His iconic images, like the OBEY artwork and the Obama "HOPE" poster, are central elements of a contemporary cultural and creative economy. As a cultural entrepreneur of the current era, Fairey has uniquely tapped into those relationships that historically have seemed so vexing—politics, consumption and marketing. Fairey represents a new kind of cultural producer, at home with commerce and cultural politics simultaneously. In a lively conversation, Shepard Fairey discusses art, politics and consumer culture.

Nov. 5, 2009: "Implications of Social Media for Business, Learning and Institutional Development"
As part of the week-long visit by and dialogue with Annenberg Innovator in Residence Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger, Dean Ernest J. Wilson III hosts a half-day conference titled "Social Media: Platform or Provocation for Innovation?" In this panel, "Implications of Social Media for Business, Learning and Institutional Development" experts from USC Annenberg and IBM will explore recent innovations and future trends in the social media space as well as industry responses to these developments. The rate of innovation in social media has been staggering in recent years. The result is a substantially different media landscape than one confronted by media organizations even five years ago. The conversation will focus on both the demands of the new media marketplace and the barriers that organizations are likely to face in attempting to meet these demands. In addition to Wladawsky-Berger, panelists include USC Annenberg faculty members Henry Jenkins, Jonathan Taplin, Dmitri Williams, Marc Cooper, executive in residence David Westphal and research fellow Nonny de la Peña. They will be joined by IBMs Steve Canepa, general manager for media and entertainment and Julia Grace, software engineer and Melissa Cefkin, ethnographer and research scientist.
