Free Speech 103: Speech & Democracy

Join us for Free Speech 103: Speech & Democracy, where we will explore the vital yet complex relationship between free speech and democracy on Monday, November 4, from noon to 1 p.m. in Multipurpose Room 215 at the John C. Pace Library (Building 32). This session examines how free expression serves as a cornerstone of democratic society, while also addressing the challenges posed by the constant confrontation of diverse opinions on digital platforms. As we approach an historic election, this conversation offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the evolving role of speech in sustaining a healthy democracy.
