Recovering the spirit of freedom is a big challenge for the 2020s. Where unrestricted inquiry, free expression, and open debate were once viewed as central to thriving democracies and to university life, today such values are often held in low regard. This seminar series is an opportunity to explore some of the core ideals and new limits to freedom. Each session comprises a short introductory talk followed by open discussion on the issues raised.
