Dr. Michael Berkman, Director, The McCourtney Institute for Democracy, Penn State
Restrictions on the media, universities, and law firms, along with the deportation of international college students, all raise concerns about the future of our civil liberties. In this talk we’ll discuss the tension inherent in our democracy between government power and individual liberties, focusing on the importance of the Bill of Rights from the founding through today. What can we do to help?
