For those of you who live in the greater Washington area you may want to note an event upcoming on March 19 sponsored by the Division of United States Studies at the Woodrow Wilson Center. Professor Robert O’Neil (former president of the University of Virginia and currently professor of law) has written a new book called Academic Freedom in the Wired World. The program will consist of Professor O’Neil speaking about his work for about half an hour followed by two commentators, of which I will be one, along with Ann L. Franke, each of us speaking for about 15 minutes respectively. There will then be audience Q & A and a small reception. Click here for a link to the Wilson Center. Attendees at such events are usually a mix of scholars, people from local universities, government policy makers, NGOs and the interested general public. Come to 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. from 3-5 PM and say hello.
