Cell Phones, Blogs, and DVDs: Digital Politics in Tibet
Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute presents a panel on digital politics in Tibet as part of their 2012 Undergraduate Discussion Series.

In this new speaker series sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, experts on media, government, politics and human rights will sit down with students to discuss how social media is changing the nature of communication in the region.
