SYMPOSIUM TO EXPLORE FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Join the Concordia community as we discuss “Speech: Freedom vs. Responsibility?” at this year’s Faith, Reason and World Affairs Symposium Tuesday, Sept. 17-Wednesday, Sept. 18. Most events are held in Memorial Auditorium on the Moorhead, Minn., campus.
To speak is to exercise power. History has often been shaped by courageous individuals who opened new worlds of possibility by daring to speak. For the same reason, speech may be suppressed by those unwilling to share some of their own power.
Speakers include Nadine Strossen, the John Marshall Harlan II Professor of Law at New York Law School and former president of the American Civil Liberties Union; Zachary R. Wood, former president of Uncomfortable Learning at Williams College, free speech advocate and author; and Roxana Saberi, CBS News correspondent in London and author.
All sessions for the symposium, now in its 33rd year, are free and open to the public. For a complete schedule visit ConcordiaCollege.edu/symposium.
Concordia College is a four-year liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America offering more than 50 majors, including 18 honors majors and 12 preprofessional programs.
