Widener University will partner with the National Constitution Center for a program that explores the intersection of free speech and civil discourse in modern America.
“The First Amendment: Finding Common Ground in a Polarized World,” is set to take place Nov. 14 at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
The panel discussion's scheduled speakers include Widener president Dr. Julie E. Wollman and Widener University Delaware Law School Dean Rodney Smolla, with National Constitution Center president and CEO Jeffrey Rosen serving as moderator.
Wollman will discuss her role as a university president who is intent on honoring all voices and finding common ground, at a time when polarization has affected multiple colleges and universities across the country.
Smolla will explore the free speech implications of the First Amendment, and the differences between what is illegal versus what is distasteful public speech.
After the panel discussion, which will include time for questions, attendees will break up into small groups arranged on the Constitution Center overlook.
