Is the First Amendment Obsolete?
Evening of February 28th
Columbia Professor of Law, Tim Wu will be visiting Stetson’s campus as an invited speaker in the Social Justice Lecture Series. Wu’s scholarly interests include antitrust, copyright, the media industries, and communications law. Wu will address how these issues intersect with the idea of free speech, as articulated in his paper “Is the First Amendment Obsolete?” He argues that the internet enables a new class of threats, such coordinated internet trolling, etc., which confounds free speech and which the 1st Amendment seems unprepared to address. Wu will also speak to the role the university can play in protecting free speech from this class of threats.
Social Justice Lecture Series
Wu will be available in the afternoon on February 28th to speak in your classroom or, even better, hosting a cultural credit event.

Exact time and location is TBD.
