Breaking the Bennington Bubble: A dialogue on free speech and echo chambers

This community dialogue hosted by Paige Colby '25 will be held on April 26, 2024 from 1:00–3:00 pm in the CAPA Symposium. After hearing from keynote speaker, Josh Haverlock from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), participants will break into groups to discuss the essential question “Is Bennington an echo chamber?” along with other subjects such as free speech, censorship, safe spaces, and Bennington's campus culture. If you are a student, faculty member, staff member, or member of administration interested in free speech issues, protecting your rights, and building community, this event is for you! Food will also be provided at the end. Follow @breakingbtonbubble on Instagram for more information. Register here; registration is not required to attend but is encouraged.
