Amna Khalid
Speaking
Khalid speaks frequently about free expression and academic freedom
with her Carleton colleague, Associate Professor of Educational Studies
Jeff Snyder. This profile from the Carleton Voice explains why these issues
matter to them.
Here are some of the topics they have addressed:
-
Free Speech and Why It Matters
-
Is Free Expression at Odds with Diversity and Inclusion?
-
Intellectual Freedom, Viewpoint Diversity and the Liberal Arts
-
Academic Freedom: What Is It? Who Has It? And Why Should We Care?
Khalid and Snyder enjoy visiting different campuses to engage with students,
faculty, administrators and staff. For speaking requests and inquiries, please
email Khalid at amkhalid@carleton.edu.
Khalid and Snyder have written extensively about threats to free expression
on campus and beyond. These threats--including book bans, anti-CRT laws
and campus speech codes--come from across the political spectrum. Khalid
and Snyder are particularly interested in the relationship between
intellectual freedom and social justice. See, for example, their work on:
-
diversity training in Inside Higher Ed (see their animated explainer
video below)
-
trigger warnings in the Chronicle of Higher Education
-
the San Francisco "Life of Washington" mural controversy at CNN.com
-
bias response teams in the New Republic
