The USC Center for the Political Future, Voices for Liberty, USC Gould School of Law, USC Heterodox Academy, USC Price School of Public Policy and the USC Open Dialogue Project invite you to a conversation on the state of free expression in the United States today. Former ACLU President Nadine Strossen and USC Gould Dean Franita Tolson will examine where free speech law is headed, what misconceptions dominate the public conversation, and how First Amendment conflicts shape politics, the courts, and civil liberties. This event will take place in the USC Gould Law School, Room 3 on Monday, March 9, from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm.

Panelists Include:

• Nadine Strossen – Former President, ACLU; Member, Council on Foreign Relations; Professor, New York University Law School
• Franita Tolson – Dean, USC Gould School of Law; Former Election Law Analyst, CNN; Election Law Expert

Free speech and First Amendment rights are often treated as settled principles but recent court battles, campus controversies, and political landmarks suggest otherwise. From debates over hate speech and protest rights to government regulation and academic freedom, the boundaries of free speech rights are being tested in new and consequential ways.

The event includes a Q&A session and FREE copies of Nadine Strossen's books for select attendees to have autographed by Ms. Strossen.
