SUNY FREDONIA Perfect timing for discussion

1 min read

Here's a topic that is sure to bring plenty of thought and controversy today. "Freedom of Expression on College Campuses" will kick off the fall Brown Bag Lecture Series at the State University of New York at Fredonia by Professor Robert L. Dahlgren of the College of Education at noon.

In his talk, according to SUNY, Dahlgren will survey the history and conceptions of academic freedom, addressing the contemporary cultural and political fault lines that inform the issue of freedom on college campuses today. With the current climate of division throughout the country, it is interesting to see how outspoken young adults are once they reach campus.

Over this past weekend, about 50 students took part in a march for the solidarity for women.

The march started on campus outside of Starbucks and ended at Barker Common where the group held signs and received some acknowledgement from passing drivers along Main Street.

The Brown Bag event, normally held in the Williams Center, will be presented on Zoom, those planning to participate should use the online link available at https://events.fredonia.edu/event/brown-bag---freedom-of-expression-speaker-bob-dahlgren#.YVXmCprMKUk
