Frontlines of Freedom Conference 2024

At the Frontlines of Freedom Conference on Transnational Repression, hosted by the Renew Democracy Initiative, I joined a panel entitled “Dictators in the Dorms” alongside Grady Vaughan of Freedom House and Rory O’Connor of the Athenai Institute, moderated by Dr. Sean Roberts of George Washington University. Our discussion examined how authoritarian regimes target students and academic spaces abroad, and how universities and democracies can respond to protect freedom of expression and civic engagement on campus.
