Freedom of Speech at Colgate: Courage and Care

Expression makes clear that we consider these to be essential: we encourage everyone to express their ideas in conversation, both inside and outside the classroom. Such expression requires courage: saying what you think can be difficult, especially in cases where your view is unpopular. It also requires care: we must consider the perspectives of others, listen carefully, and be willing to change our minds. In this session, Professors Dudrick and Reinbold will lead a discussion of freedom of expression and its central role in the Colgate experience.
