The grand finale of Adelphi’s Freedom of Expression Week Symposium is a keynote interview and question-and-answer session with Nadine Strossen, one of the nation’s leading advocates for free speech and civil liberties.

In a conversation with Paul Thaler, PhD, professor and chair of communications, Nadine will share powerful insights into the current challenges to freedom of expression, especially in educational institutions.

Participants can join in an audience Q&A session after the interview for a chance to engage directly with the influential Strossen as we explore the future of free speech. You are encouraged to submit a question for the Q&A portion of this event.
