Lazerow Lecture on The Paradox of Openness

River Forest, IL – Sandra Braman, professor of communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and former chair of the Communication Law & Policy Division of the International Communication Association, will deliver the annual ISI® Samuel Lazerow Memorial Lecture at Dominican University on Wednesday, April 5, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. in the University’s Priory Campus Auditorium, 7200 W. Division Street, River Forest.

Braman will present a lecture titled “The Paradox of Openness: The Three Faces of Post-Normal Science and the Closure of Science” and will discuss how the concept of openness will characterize knowledge production and access in the future.

Braman earned her doctorate from the University of Minnesota. With Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation support, she has been working on problems associated with the effort to bring the research and communication policy communities more closely together.

A member of the editorial boards of nine scholarly journals and a previous book review editor of the Journal of Communication, Braman has served as Reese Phifer Professor at the University of Alabama, Henry Rutgers Research Fellow at Rutgers University, Silha Fellow of Media Law and Ethics at the University of Minnesota, and a research assistant professor at the University of Illinois-Urbana. She has published over 30 scholarly journal articles, book chapters, and books.

Dominican University is one of few graduate schools of library and information science in the nation to receive the coveted annual Lazerow lectureship award from Thomson ISI. The lecture honors the memory of Samuel Lazerow, an eminent library administrator and pioneer in the use of electronic information systems. The lecture series introduces students, faculty and the professional community to leading thinkers in information technology and policy.

Admission to this lecture, which will be followed by a reception, is free. For more information, contact the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at (708) 524-6849.
