What does free speech mean for higher education in an age of social media, mobile devices, and escalating political partisanship?

This week the Future Trends Forum is delighted to host the authors of an important new book, It's Not Free Speech: Race, Democracy, and the Future of Academic Freedom: Michael Bérubé, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, and Jennifer Ruth, professor of film at Portland State University.

The Future Trends Forum is a weekly discussion event created and hosted by Bryan Alexander.  Since 2016 we have addressed the most powerful forces of change in academia. Each week, this video chat brings together practitioners in the field to share their most recent work and experience in education and technology. The intent of the Forum: to advance the discussion around the pressing issues at the crossroads of education and technology.
