Speaking

Snyder speaks frequently about academic freedom, free speech and campus politics with his Carleton colleague, historian Amna Khalid. They believe that freedom of expression is essential to the advancement of diversity, democracy and education; and that censorship and illiberalism, no matter their source, undermine our freedom to learn as well as our capacity to live in a pluralistic, multicultural society. 

Snyder and Khalid have delivered talks at colleges, universities and professional conferences across the United States and abroad. They are committed to dialogue and appreciate having the opportunity to engage with students, faculty, administrators and staff. For speaking requests and inquiries, please email Snyder at jsnyder@carleton.edu.
