JEFFREY AARON SNYDER
Speaking
Snyder speaks frequently about academic freedom, free speech and campus politics with his Carleton colleague, historian Amna Khalid. They believe that freedom of expression is essential to the advancement of diversity, democracy and education. The two of them are concerned about threats to free expression from across the political spectrum. They maintain that censorship and illiberalism, no matter their source, undermine our freedom to learn as well as our capacity to live in a pluralistic, multicultural society.
Snyder and Khalid have delivered talks at colleges, universities and professional conferences across the United States and abroad. They are deeply committed to dialogue and take great delight in engaging with students, faculty, administrators and staff.
