Friday, November 17, 3 pm EST: Town Hall on Censorship, at Bard College
The first of many public discussions on censorship, held at My Old School
As mentioned in this space in September, I’ve been preparing a town hall series on censorship and speech issues. We have a few events already lined up, and the first will be taking place tomorrow afternoon at my old school (the one I share with Donald Fagen above!), Bard College. If you can see them past the glare of my bald head, the details are below, in a flyer prepared by the Bard Observer. I’ll be giving a brief talk on things found in the Twitter Files and other background to the digital censorship era, before opening up the discussion. Thanks so much to the campus organizers for putting this together, and hopefully this will be the first of many events. We have another in Park Slope coming up soon, and I’ll let Racket readers know the details as soon as they’re available. In the meantime, if you’re in the beautiful Hudson River valley tomorrow afternoon, please come by, and let’s talk this thing through.
This is a GREAT idea. We have a facility you can use in Basking Ridge, NJ, no charge, seats 400, we can record and livestream if you like. You are setting a great example for the power of open discussion and respectfully listening to people with opposing views.
Thank you for the courage and commitment it takes to do what you are doing, it is having a big, positive impact.
Kudos! Wish I could join you ...
