RIGHT NOW! AND SPECIAL EVENTS

The Right Now! Series presents lectures, workshops, and other events responding to breaking issues in public life, bringing together academic and nonacademic speakers and audiences to consider ideas and events that are of pressing importance. 

The Hugo L. Black Lecture on Freedom of Expression, named in honor of U. S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, brings to the Wesleyan campus distinguished public figures and scholars with experience and expertise in matters related to the First Amendment and freedom of expression. This lecture, which is endowed by Leonard S. Halpert ’44, is offered annually.

The Allbritton Center also often sponsors or cosponsors Other Events in areas of importance to the study of public life and civic engagement.
