Overview
This symposium will cover important new work relevant to academics and practitioners on the leading edge of free speech issues, including social sanction, digital content moderation, and polarization in the context of free speech. The program will put scholars in conversation with stakeholders such as community leaders, activists, journalists, and lawyers.
Following the panels, there will be a breakout session where audience members will have the chance to discuss with speakers and fellow participants their own ideas and questions about the topic. One aim of the event is for participants to come away with fresh ideas for academic research or publicly facing work such as op-eds and popular journal articles, so please come ready to discuss your own thoughts at the breakouts.
If you have research interests in questions surrounding this topic, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
