Michael Hawley



Himalayan kingdom is topic
of next Tetelman Lecture

This year's Teleman Lecture will focus on what is considered to be the world's largest published book, "Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom."

It will be given by Michael Hawley, director of special projects at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Sponsored by Jonathan Edwards College, Hawley's talk, titled "Shangri-La: The Pursuit of Paradise in Bhutan and Beyond," will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 26, at 5 p.m. in Rm. 102, Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St. In addition, Hawley will also be the guest at two events on Thursday, Jan. 26. He will discuss "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda: My Unfinished Wish List" at a seminar at 10:30 a.m. in Rm. 200, Arthur K. Watson Hall, 51 Prospect St. At 4 p.m., Hawley will be the guest at a master's tea in Jonathan Edwards College, 70 High St.

A Yale College graduate, Hawley has been on the faculty of MIT for almost a decade. He is the founder of MIT's GO Expeditions program and co-founder of Things That Think, a research program that explores the limitless ways digital media will infuse everyday objects. He also founded and led Toys of Tomorrow, which engaged many of the world's leading toy companies to invent new playthings, and Counter Intelligence, designed to explore domestic technologies from the kitchen countertop and beyond.

Hawley has traveled to six of the seven continents. As an outgrowth of his expeditions he founded Friendly Planet, a nonprofit charity dedicated to children's education in developing countries.

The Tetelman Fellowship at Jonathan Edwards College was endowed in 1979 by Damon Wells of the Class of 1958 in memory of his friend and classmate, Alan S. Tetelman '50, who died in an air crash in 1978. Tetelman, a metallurgist, was professor and chair of the Department of Materials at the University of California at Los Angeles. The Tetelman Fellowship brings to campus distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions to science, who deliver a lecture and meet informally with students and members of the faculty.
