UPDATE: Google lecture at Vanderbilt canceled

A lecture about Google’s effect on culture, commerce and community set for April 15 at Vanderbilt University has been canceled.

Siva Vaidhyanathan, associate professor of media studies and law at the University of Virginia, was unable to make the trip to Nashville to deliver the scheduled lecture at Vanderbilt’s Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy.

The Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy was established in 2003 as the first university-based policy program to fully engage the American cultural policy system. It is funded by Vanderbilt University and a $2.5 million endowment from music industry executive Mike Curb and the Curb Family Foundation. It is led by Bill Ivey, who was chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts from 1998 to 2001.
