SUMMARY:Towards Pittsburgh Principles: Exploring the Rules Governing Freedom of Inquiry and Expression on University Campuses and at Pitt
DESCRIPTION:Call for Participation \nThe Center for Governance and Markets (CGM) at the University of Pittsburgh invites Pitt faculty\, staff\, and students to participate in a two-day workshop\, “Towards Pittsburgh Principles: Exploring the Rules Governing Freedom of Inquiry & Expression on American University Campuses and at Pitt“ This workshop aims to foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration on freedom of expression and civil discourse. \nAbout the Workshop \nThis workshop will engage participants in key debates\, essential texts\, and contemporary challenges related to freedom of inquiry and expression on American university campuses. Through a comparative study of free speech models across different institutions\, the reading group will explore how universities navigate issues of expression and civil discourse. The seminar will conclude with a discussion on the potential development of “Pittsburgh Principles”—a guiding vision for free expression at the University of Pittsburgh. \nSuccessful applicants will receive a curated selection of articles\, essays\, and case studies on freedom of speech and civil discourse in U.S. higher education. \nThe workshops will be led by Lisa Nelson\, Associate Professor (GSPIA) and Co-Director\, Center for Applied Research on Targeted Violence\, and Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili\, Professor (GSPIA) and Director\, Center for Governance and Markets. \nWhy Pitt? \nThe University of Pittsburgh\, located in a region noted for its political pluralism\, has a unique opportunity to be a trailblazer in the realm of freedom of speech and expression.
