About this event

Members of the Chicago Forum for Free Inquiry and Expression faculty advisory board will lead a thoughtful conversation examining how the University’s steadfast commitment to free expression has influenced their teaching, scholarship, and professional growth. Faculty will delve into the distinct challenges to free speech they’ve encountered within academia and in wider society, sharing insights from their experiences. This forum will illuminate the ongoing significance of the UChicago tradition of free inquiry contextualized within today’s complex and evolving landscape. 
 
This program, presented by the University of Chicago Forum for Free Inquiry and Expression, will be moderated by Tom Ginsburg, the Leo Spitz Distinguished Service Professor of International Law and faculty director of the Chicago Forum.
