Democracy and Online Speech

Overview

The Institute for Humane Studies is convening an interdisciplinary group of faculty, graduate students, and professionals — including legal scholars and political scientists — to explore the evolving relationship between online speech and democracy.

To help sustain freedom of speech, thought, and expression in the face of complex political and technological challenges, address pressing questions with scholars attending the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) annual meeting in Washington, DC.

The symposium takes place on January 2, 2024 — the day before the AALS meeting starts — beginning with opening remarks at 3:00 PM and concluding after a networking reception at 7:00 PM.

Please come prepared to share your ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds, on democracy and online speech.
