In a moment where we too often see a ‘free speech for me, but not for thee’ attitude across a spectrum of topics and viewpoints, Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin and Greg Lukianoff will discuss the rights, risks, and responsibilities of free expression in higher education. They’ll also discuss how to build a campus culture that encourages vigorous discourse and civil dialogue across many backgrounds, viewpoints, identities, religions, political perspect
ives, and ideas.
Please note: A reception will be held following the event. We look forward to connecting with you there!
This event is supported by the Wisconsin Exchange, CSLD, the La Follette School of Public Affairs, the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership, and the Center for Research on the Wisconsin Economy (CROWE).
