Fourth Annual Louis Nizer Lecture on Public Policy
by Freeman Dyson

World-renowned scientist Freeman Dyson delivered the fourth annual Louis Nizer lecture on public policy on November 5, 1997 at the Harmonie Club in New York city. Dyson, Professor Emeritus in the School of Natural Sciences, Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, spoke on “Technology and Social Justice.” He is the author of Disturbing the University, Weapons of Hope, Origins of Life, and most recently, Imagined Worlds.

The Louis Nizer Lecture on Public Policy was established in 1994 by the Carnegie Council on Ethics in International Affairs to honor the internationally known lawyer and author Louis Nizer. The Nizer lectures explore the contribution of law in expressing ethical norms as part of the process through which the American society and the world community evolve toward the full expression of democracy.
