You’re invited...<br>
<br><b>
Controversial speaker coming to campus? Free webinar on disinvited speakers and academic freedom</b><br>
<br>
September 26th/ 9am PDT/ 10am MDT/ 11am CDT/ 12pm EDT/ 4pm GMT<br>
<br>
Over the past few years, the news has been replete with stories about how authors, thought-leaders, and others have become disinvited or pressured to withdraw from university speaking engagements because they don’t promote prevailing ideology. What are the consequences of disallowing diverse viewpoints on campus and what can speakers, faculty, and librarians do to support intellectual freedom in academia?<br>
<br>
Join the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, SAGE Publishing, and Index on Censorship for a webinar on speaker disinvitation during <a href="http://info.sagepub.com/c/197RUhbX69lEJEq0tdt1O">Banned Books Week</a>. It will include perspectives from Mark Osler, a professor who was disinvited from a campus speaking engagement, Glenn Geher, a professor of psychology who helped to bring a controversial speaker to campus, and Judith C. Russell, a dean of libraries who addresses issues relating to controversial speakers, academic freedom, and campus safety on campus.<br>
<br>
The webinar will be moderated by Jemimah Steinfeld from <a href="http://info.sagepub.com/c/197RUyf3Iv3ExIEpnMmC3">Index on Censorship</a> magazine.<br>
