Exploring Boundaries: Bias and Freedom of Expression

Facilitators: Xan Bozzo, Rickie-Ann Legleitner, Tim Shiell, and Mai Khou Xiong.

This workshop is a non-credit bearing educational enrichment experience. Deadline to apply is November 9, but only twenty students will be accepted, so don't wait to apply! Students who complete the workshop receive a $100 stipend. Pizza and pop are provided. The workshop addresses the boundaries of expressive rights when they involve bias or potential bias of marginalized groups and individuals. What makes expression biased? When is biased expression illegal? What should the university do if the biased expression is legally protected? Do marginalized groups have expressive rights too?
