FAN 204.2 Emory Conference: Academic Freedom and Free Speech on Campus

On March 21–23, Emory University will host a conference titled "Academic Freedom and Free Speech on Campus." The conference will examine what academic freedom and free speech mean in the life of higher education institutions today.

The goal of the conference is to generate conversations on ideas, laws, policies, and practices related to academic freedom and free speech on college campuses. It will provide opportunities for faculty, scholars, student affairs professionals and students to interrogate ideas ranging from academic freedom and free speech to safe spaces, and to discuss campus protests and dissent in order to develop practices and policies that promote free speech.
