SUMMARY:2nd Annual Voices for Liberty Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 15\, 2024\n8:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. (with reception to follow) \nFree and open to the public. \n\nDoes free expression help or harm the cause of social progress? Does freedom of speech entrench an unjust status quo\, or is it a crucial tool for groups wishing to challenge it? \nThese questions divide us everywhere — on social media\, on campus\, and in judicial decisions. Until now\, however\, the debate in academic literature has been overwhelmingly one-sided. Voices for Liberty\, an initiative of the Liberty & Law Center at Scalia Law\, aims to broaden that debate\, bringing in new perspectives. \nJoin us for a full day of senior scholars and exciting new voices presenting cutting-edge research on the role expression played in women’s economic freedom and self-segregated communities\, and continues to play in religious minority and nonreligious rights and international racial tolerance. \nFor more information about this event\, as well as to register\, please visit our event listing. \nQuestions?
