U of AR: “College campuses have often served as focal points for civil discourse. Campus protests and student activism have a long history of making headlines and influencing public opinion and lawmakers.
These movements have addressed both campus-specific issues and international topics such as racial justice, wars, sexual assault, climate change, student loan debt and more.
On Thursday, Sept. 12, the Honors College will present a panel featuring faculty and staff with expertise in cultural sociology, organizational theory, moral and political philosophy, campus police and emergency management, and the legal issues surrounding political protests.
Students from the Democracy Fellows Program, a registered student organization designed to foster a democratically engaged campus community, will moderate the panel.
The Pulse Panel Discussion will discuss how and why campuses often serve as spaces for assembly and activism from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, in the Honors Student Lounge (GEAR 130). “
