About this event

1 hour 30 minutes

The fundamental but often complicated concept of free speech has taken center stage in our national dialogue in recent years. The discussions will focus on the University of Chicago’s longstanding commitment to free expression, known as the “Chicago Tradition” along with an overview of this very complicated but fundamental concept, now a “center stage” nationally prominent topic.

Tony Banout, will be interviewed by Jessica Green, from Courageous Conversations, and Dale Griffith, a University of Chicago graduate and former Barrington High School faculty member and most recently faculty at Rochelle Zell Jewish High School.

Coffee and snacks available at 1:00 pm; discussion begins at 1:30 pm.
