Does free expression help or harm the cause of social progress?

Join senior scholars and exciting new voices presenting cutting-edge research on the role freedom of speech plays in advancing civil rights movements (past, present and future). Academic research into this important topic has been surprisingly limited. Scholars will present new papers exploring whether free expression entrenches an unjust status quo or provides critical support for groups wishing to challenge it.

Don't miss keynote speakers Jonathan Rauch and Nadine Strossen!

Voices for Liberty, an initiative of the Liberty and Law Center at George Mason's Antonin Scalia Law School, aims to broaden debates about freedom of speech through new scholarship, campus speakers, and public events.
