About the Program

More than Trending: A Conversation with a (Official) Digital Diplomat

Matt Jacobs, a Public Affairs Specialist at the U.S. Department of State and an ASU alumnus, will discuss the importance of digital diplomacy - a critical but often misunderstood driver of global discourse and decision-making. He’ll illustrate why the digital information economy and social media can both enhance or endanger democratic societies, and how the actions of public institutions can determine that outcome.

Part public square, part dumpster fire - entirely part of a process necessary to building democratic resilience. He’ll also discuss how he went from frequenting punk dives to formulating public diplomacy, and how diverse and non-traditional passions are vital to the future of public service.
