Communications History as Cultural History
We have all been invited to a lecture by Berkeley history professor David Henkin on the topic of "Communications History as Cultural History." For all MA students who are working on subjects pertaining to American literature and culture, this lecture should be of particular interest.

For all those who couldn't make it - this was an engaging lecture that primarily focused on the makings of a revolution (specifically in communications): he used the advances of early 19th century American communications infrastructure to put the real impact of the invention of the telegraph into question, and his answers were as intriguing as his anecdotes were amusing :)
