Khalid and Snyder enjoy visiting different campuses to engage with students, faculty, administrators and staff. For speaking requests and inquiries, please email Snyder at jsnyder@carleton.edu.
Khalid and Snyder have written extensively about threats to free expression on campus and beyond. These threats--including book bans, anti-CRT laws and campus speech codes--come from across the political spectrum. Khalid and Snyder are particularly interested in the relationship between intellectual freedom and social justice. See, for example, their work on:
-
why they wrote an amicus brief to contest Florida's Stop WOKE Act in Washington Monthly
-
the sometimes thorny relationship between campus DEI and academic freedom in the Chronicle Review
-
trigger warnings in the Chronicle Review
-
diversity training in Inside Higher Ed (see also their animated explainer video below)
