The freedom to speak, the duty to listen, the goal of community
This academic year, the Ethics Center will focus on the theme of freedom of speech and civil discourse: The Freedom to Speak, the Duty to Listen, the Goal of Community. We are exploring the theme through public events, the work of a team of undergraduate Hackworth Fellows, and the provision of educational materials about key, contested ethical issues related to it. Each quarter will focus on a particular aspect of this theme, with discussion and participation encouraged. A unique link on our website will feature related events, blog posts, resources, and more. Upcoming events of interest include an October 2 presentation on free speech at universities, featuring former UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks. For more information, view our website.
