The Aspen Institute’s summer became a little bit clearer yesterday, as the group announced speakers for the Hurst Lecture Series, McCloskey Speaker Series and the Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit series.
The speaker comes to town July 7. Joel Kotkin, a professor at Chapman University, will talk about how urban planning has changed the way we live.
The next week, AOL founder Steve Case will talk about what he believes the next innovations in the tech fields will be.
Later in the summer, as the presidential election gets closer, the talks take on a more political bent.
Panels of republican and democratic governors will speak, while General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will discuss national security.
