Programs on Freedom of Expression and Public Discourse
The Parrhesia Summer Academy, rooted in the University of Chicago’s Principles of Free Expression, offers a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the theory and practice of free expression, public discourse, and democratic engagement. This innovative program is designed to teach with the rigor and critical thinking that are hallmarks of a University of Chicago education. It is part of the broader Parrhesia Program for Public Discourse, reflecting the University’s commitment to open and vigorous civic deliberation and dialogue. The Academy provides small classes for undergraduate students, pre-college students, and educators, ensuring individual attention and ample opportunities for participation and interaction with instructors and peers.
