Wellesley College
Presentation at Global Conference on "The Fate of Freedom of Expression in Liberal Democracies" Wellesley College, October 1-3 2015
About
The Freedom Project at Wellesley College is dedicated to the exploration of the idea of freedom in all of its manifestations, but especially in the tradition of Western classical liberalism. This tradition, in its broadest sense, emphasizes the sanctity of individual rights, freedom of contract and economic rights, constitutional democracy, and the rule of law. It includes, as well, an appreciation of the spirit of individualism, the free marketplace of ideas and the struggle against arbitrary power, both in the form of political domination and the stultifying influence of ideological dogmas – cultural, political or religious – and social conformity.
