How is the vision we have of our digital lives matching the reality? In a digital age who are we connected to and who are we not connected to? Should we re-think how evenly distributed access to the Internet really is? Two leading Internet scholars talk about the ways in which people are engaging with the digital world — from Australia and Africa to the suburbs of Boston and Shanghai and all points in between.

Technology as a cultural practice « UX Australia 2011
How do you design a mobile money service for people in rural Uganda who’ve never had a bank account? How do you test the usability of a mobile phone’s address book for users in rural India who’ve never had an address… yet alone an analog address book?
As cheap PCs and inexpensive mobile phones flood the global market, usability and user experience professionals will encounter more and more questions like these – questions that challenge not only our research tools and methodologies, but our fundamental assumptions about how people engage with technology. In this talk, Rachel will share insights she’s gained through creating experiences that must scale across vastly different cultures. She’ll share her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities designing for global markets will present to the user experience industry in the years to come.

Global UX: A journey « UX Australia 2011
This presentation is about how the UX practice is changing and how UX practitioners and UX teams around the world are designing user experiences for a global context. Our goal is to share what people are thinking about how they work in UX practices in global, cross-cultural, distributed team environments. We hope that it will also help you think about the process of understanding people from different countries and cultures. And give you some insights into how your colleagues have tackled the challenges of working on global products. You may find these glimpses into global practice are a mirror, reflecting your own work; or a beacon, showing a path ahead. Either way, we hope this presentation will inspire you.

This event was recorded on 18 January 2011 in Old Theatre, Old Building
‘Nixon goes to China’ shattered the façade of Communist unity and dug the United States out of the hole it found itself in at the end of the 1960s. Critics have seen Nixon and Kissinger’s policy as morally compromised, but was it actually the key to America’s victory in the Cold War? Niall Ferguson is Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs at LSE IDEAS for 2010-11.

The Third World’s War
Public Lectures and Events: podcasts - Podcasts - LSE
Speaker: Professor Niall Ferguson
Chair: Professor Michael Cox
This event was recorded on 24 November 2010 in Old Theatre, Old Building
Although never a "hot" war between the superpowers, the Cold War was waged partly through a series of proxy wars in Third World countries from Guatemala to Korea to Vietnam. Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to a select number of U.S. Interventions in the Third World, there is an urgent need to see the "Third World’s War" in perspective, showing how successful the Soviet Union was in pursuing a strategy of fomenting revolution and how consistently successive U.S. administrations behaved in response. Professor Niall Ferguson is the Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs for the 2010-2011 academic year.

RSA - The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis
http://www.thersa.org/events/audio-and-past-events/2010/the-hidden-history-of-the-financial-crisis RSA Thursday As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointing began. Should the blame fall on greedy traders, misguided regulators, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers?
Bethany McLean, co-author of the The Smartest Guys in the Room, visits the RSA to tell the hidden history of the financial crisis, exploring the motivations of everyone from famous CEOs, cabinet secretaries, and politicians to anonymous lenders, borrowers, analysts, and Wall Street traders.
Her new book All the Devils Are Here exposes the hidden role of companies including AIG, Goldman Sachs, and Fannie Mae, delves into the powerful mythology of homeownership, and proves that the crisis ultimately wasn’t about finance at all; it was about human nature.
Speaker: Bethany McLean, columnist for Slate and a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and author of The Smartest Guys in the Room (with Peter Elkind) and All the Devils Are Here (with Joe Nocera, Penguin Portfolio 2010)
Chair: Paul Mason, economics editor of the BBC’s flagship current affairs program Newsnight
