Excerpt: Amid a wave of book bans around the country and a surge in white supremacist propaganda in Illinois, the University of Chicago is launching a new forum to promote free speech and encourage open debate.
The Forum for Free Inquiry and Expression will debut this week with a series of on-campus panels featuring a number of scholars, artists and political figures in conversation on a variety of controversial social and political topics. Taking place on Thursday, Oct. 5 and Friday, panels will include Chicago’s Amanda Williams, Cathy Cohen and David Axelrod.
