Dissent and Disagreement

Description

Join the SNF Agora Institute for a discussion on the importance of fostering spaces for free speech as a means to advance democracy and defend against authoritarianism. The conversation will consider how we can promote free speech—including spirited dissent and disagreement—in ways that recognize and respect each other's humanity and ensure that all voices can be heard.

Panelists:

• Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America and author of Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All
• Martha Jones, Society of Black Alumni presidential professor, professor of history, and a professor at SNF Agora Institute, Johns Hopkins University
• Dahlia Lithwick (moderator), senior editor at Slate and host of the Amicus podcast

This event is part of the the SNF Agora Democratic Spaces series.
