Who: Office Hours is produced by Duke University, in particular its offices of Alumni Affairs, Information Technology and News and Communications. Duke's partner for video streaming Office Hours is Ustream.

Why: Office hours at a university are the times professors leave their doors open for people to wander in and converse about current events, the meaning of life or developments in their fields. Duke's Office Hours series aims to bring the expansiveness and sparkle of these conversations to anyone with an Internet connection and an interest in the ideas emerging at Duke. Topics have included race and medicine, the New Testament in the news, the legacy of Michael Jackson, and the state of Muslim Americans since 9/11. You are invited to join the conversation.
