Our January 14 panel features free speech amid campus protests.
Sociologist Michael Schwalbe has written extensively about the issues,
and two students... Toby Posel and Lily, are engaged in free speech struggles
at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Schwalbe points to threats to free speech arising from
selective application of newly invented bureaucratic rules.
Lily and Toby describe how they seek to exercise academic freedom
despite consequences they and others now face.

are those of Netanyahu, or the US, the ultimate developments
leave Escobar wishing us luck in a “terrifying" period.
