Dana Weiner: Making Policy in the Age of Immediacy

Описание: Unprecedented access to data and powerful analytics have led to what Dana Weiner calls an “epidemic of impatience.” Weiner has spent years observing and advising on public policy issues like mental health services, foster care, and the impact of trauma. Currently at the Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago, she will offer her diagnosis of the pressures our new, powerful tools place on the equally important need to reflect on lessons from the past, to opt sometimes for long-term strategy over more immediate tactics.

This program is presented as part of the annual Karla Scherer Endowed Lecture Series for the University of Chicago.

This program was recorded on Sunday, November 6, as part of Chicago Humanities Festival's Fallfest/16: Speed.
