Amna Khalid
Speaking
"The Provocateurs"
"Speak Up! Why Free Expression is Essential for Diversity, Democracy & Education"
“Under Attack: How Did Free Speech Become So Complicated, and What’s Next?"
"The Provocateurs"
Khalid speaks frequently about academic freedom, free speech and campus politics with her Carleton colleague, historian of education Jeff Snyder. They believe that freedom of expression is essential to the advancement of diversity, democracy and education; and 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.
​
Khalid and Snyder have delivered talks at colleges, universities and professional conferences across the United States and abroad. They are committed to dialogue and appreciate having the opportunity to engage with students, faculty, administrators and staff.
