"Pediatric COVID Vaccinations & Free Speech"

"The Role of Abortion in Reproductive Health Care"
"Ten Minutes to Midnight: Debt, Inflation, and the Looming Enslavement"

The free expression of ideas is a pillar of a just society, and differences of opinion should be viewed as an opportunity to learn and advance knowledge.

Presentations are designed to challenge strongly held views and may result in feelings that are for some attendees unsettling. The Association’s Board considers this discomfort beneficial to scholarship.

Events, which are arranged by the Association, will be debate-style or single-speaker, dependent upon the identification and availability of authoritative participants. There is always time allotted for audience members to offer brief comments or questions.
