Billion is the New Platinum

HIPS Fanfare Lecture: Joe Burns
2pm
Teacher Education Center Lecture Hall (2021-2022)

After WWII, record companies measured success by granting artists Gold, Platinum, or Diamond records. Today is different. No one buys physical music much anymore so the goal is no longer a precious metal. It is a Billion. A Billion streams. A Billion views. It is only a thousand millions. A thousand platinum records. Joe Burns, Head of Communication and Media Studies, will explain by sharing a little easy math – all you need to be able to do is count to a Billion.

Student Union Theater

 

Colin Mathison, Southeastern M.A. in History and PH.D. candidate at the University of Mississippi, will explain that while Louisiana’s Florida Parishes occupy a unique place in American History, they also are important in Latin American History.

This lecture places West Florida’s Revolution into the broader context of the Spanish Empire and Atlantic World.
