Tufts University, Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life (not EFF) will host this event. EFF Senior Speech and Privacy Activist Paige Collings will be speaking.
From the Organizers:
This year’s special theme is “Listening and Leading.” We recognize that crises of democracy can be caused and fueled by division and polarization, and that listening and dialogue may be part of the solution. We thus anticipate rich discussions and constructive disagreements about how we navigate these frontiers of democracy. There will be sessions on other topics also related to Tisch College’s “North Star”: building robust, inclusive democracy for an increasingly multiracial society.
