Several of our past lectures have been recorded and rebroadcast by TPT, channel 17. Beginning in Fall 2008, Thursdays at Four, University Symposium events and Quadrant public talks have all been recorded. In addition, some presentations have featured digital video or other media and all of these can now be viewed here in their entirety. Over the years, many IAS collaborators, fellows and guests have appeared on The Bat of Minerva with Peter Shea and those interviews are also now available. Videos can be viewed by topical category or by semester below.
