“Why is Religious Liberty the First Freedom?”
Apr. 24, 2012 4:25 PM - -- Michael McConnell, Mallory Professor of Law, Stanford Law School and Director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center
Among the many rights and freedoms that Americans enjoy, what is the correct Constitutional status of the right of religious freedom? Is it a right that should have priority over other rights and as such is a "first freedom"? Or is it a right equal to other rights? These questions are at the heart of the current national debate over religious freedom, contraception, and the new federal health care law. Professor McConnell, one of the leading Constitutional theorists on religious freedom, will address such questions and more in a talk especially keyed to our times.

And hackers have infiltrated high-profile targets like the BART system, U.S. government diplomatic channels, even the Vatican. But how are we to make sense of this current generation of hackers in light of the long history of "black-hat" and "white-hat" hacking? And how can we understand the ethical or not-so-ethical motives that are driving hackers today? Joseph Menn of Reuters is one of the top Internet security journalists in the country. In his talk, he will provide an overview of contemporary hacking and raise questions about the ethical assumptions driving the phenomenon.

From the Achievement Gap to the Education Debt- By Gloria Ladson-Billings
Mar. 8, 2012 6:43 PM - -- Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings, who once taught at SCU, is one of the leading voices in the United States on national education policy. She has argued that the term "racial achievement gap" unfairly constructs students as "defective and lacking" and "admonishes them that they need to catch up." In turn, she has argued that the term "education debt" moves us to a discourse that "holds us all accountable" for improving the education in our nation's schools.
