TEDxFulbright

The world has changed since Senator J. William Fulbrighter made this comment: “What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly." Licensed by TED to highlight the vision of the Fulbright Program for international understanding and proactive community engagement, TEDxFulbright is a half-day interdisciplinary conference for Fulbright alumni and internationally-minded members of the public guided by the theme “A Curious Picture," and organized by the Fulbright Association, National Capital Area Chapter, and hosted by Congressman Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa, Fulbrighter). Additional co-organizers include the New York Film Academy and the Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The event will be free and open to all.
