Madeleine Albright speaking at UT Austin and Second Life (video)

albright event_001

Tonight, the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin hosted an address by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright. I got to watch and participate in this event at the GSD&M Idea City Island Amphitheatre in Second Life (teleport SLURL).  It was a good crowd for a foreign policy talk, with 50-some avatars present in-world.

I asked Ms. Albright about her thoughts on the role of the United States in relation to the International Criminal Court.  You can see her response here.

I loved Madeleine Albright's closing words: "This is exactly the kind of interchange, both in first life and Second Life, that will allow us to figure our way through the 21st century in a better way."

Thanks for facilitating this, Idea City and UT Austin!
