In this episode, the trio continue the conversation by exploring the important intersection of student activism, active scholarship, and free speech. We discuss the importance of free speech in higher learning but also the potential limits to that right. To what extent does campus activism promote a healthy learning community and in what ways does it run counter to the mission of the academy? In what ways do students shape colleges and universities and in what ways should students be shaped by them?
