As campuses sought to weather a free speech storm in 2024, the UC National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement remained a steady force for education and guidance—pivoting to meet the moment with robust programming and resources.
In the final episode of Season 3, Michelle sits down with Dr. Mary Anne Franks, a leading First Amendment scholar, to discuss her new book “Fearless Speech: Breaking Free From the First Amendment.”
