Promoting Freedom of Speech

 

Think Again is an exciting initiative at UVA that seeks to help students thrive by promoting freedom of expression, viewpoint diversity, intellectual humility, and critical thinking. We are focused on student-facing events that promote open inquiry and viewpoint diversity on Grounds — through partnerships with national organizations that promote student interaction, town-hall style debates, and low-stakes discussions that involve free food and fun prizes. The more UVA students can engage in civil, thoughtful conversations about the issues of the day, the better equipped our next generation of Americans will be to lead our democracy.

​

Along with Prof. Cary’s blog, you can stay up to date with the latest debates in higher education on such issues as free speech rankings, institutional neutrality, viewpoint diversity, and other current events both here at UVA and at colleges across the nation. Join us at our Think Again events on Grounds this year at UVA — and if you have ideas for speakers, webinars, and events, please email us. We’d love to hear from you.​
