ABBEY SPEAKER SERIES: A CONVERSATION WITH IRSHAD MANJI - SEPTEMBER 20, 2023


ABBEY SPEAKER SERIES: A CONVERSATION WITH IRSHAD MANJI

On September 20 at 5:30 pm, the Program for Public Discourse’s Abbey Speaker
Series returns with a conversation in which Leah Cox interviews Irshad Manji.
Manji is the author of Don’t Label Me and has criticized many conventional DEI
training programs. Leah Cox is the Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion and the
Chief Diversity Officer at UNC. This event is open to the public and does not
require any registration. Pizza will be provided in the lobby after the event.
Date: September 20, 2023
Times: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Audience: Public
Venue: Carolina Union Auditorium
Irshad Manji is the founder of Moral Courage College, which teaches people to
turn contentious issues into constructive conversations and healthy teamwork.
The recipient of Oprah's "Chutzpah Award" for boldness, Irshad is also a New
York Times bestselling author. Her latest book is Don't Label Me: How to Do
Diversity WIthout Inflaming the Culture Wars. (Fun fact: Chris Rock calls the
book "genius." We don’t yet know what Will Smith thinks of it.) A prize-winning
leadership professor at New York University for many years, Irshad now teaches
with Oxford University's Initiative for Global Ethics and Human Rights.
Dr. Leah Cox currently serves as the Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion and
Chief Diversity Officer at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. In this
capacity, she provides the leadership and vision for creating a more inclusive
campus for students, faculty, and staff and works collaboratively with all
members of the campus and surrounding community. Before joining Carolina, she
served as the inaugural Vice President for Inclusion and Institutional Equity at
Towson University. She also served as the Special Assistant to the President and
Chief Diversity Officer at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia and
spent many years working at Gallaudet University leading the university’s first
minority student affairs office.

ABBEY SPEAKER SERIES: REGULATING BIG TECH AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT - OCTOBER 4,
2023


ABBEY SPEAKER SERIES: REGULATING BIG TECH AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT

On October 4 at 5:30 pm in celebration of First Amendment Day at UNC, the
Program for Public Discourse in conjunction with the UNC Center for Media Law
and Policy will host an Abbey Speaker Series event on “Regulating Big Tech and
the First Amendment.” Professor Mary-Rose Papandrea of the UNC School of Law
will moderate a discussion between Professor Eugene Volokh from the UCLA School
of Law, and Carrie Goldberg, founder of the victims’ rights law firm C.A.
Goldberg, PLCC. This event is open to the public and does not require
registration.
Date: October 4, 2023
Times: 05:30pm – 07:00pm
Audience: Public
Venue: Frank Porter Graham Student Union, The Auditorium
Carrie Goldberg, Esq. is the founder of Victims’ Rights law firm C. A. Goldberg,
PLLC, which does groundbreaking work nationally fighting for survivors of
stalking and sexual violence and representing victims of catastrophic injuries
caused by tech products. Her work on landmark cases includes Herrick v. Grindr,
which introduced the novel legal approach of applying product liability law to
dangerous tech products that enable stalking and abuse, plus A.M. v. Omegle and
Ruth Scott v. Amazon, lawsuits that seek to hold tech companies accountable for
enabling child sexual exploitation and death. Among the firm’s better-known
clients are Weinstein accusers, Hollywood stars, and a member of Congress. But
some of Carrie’s proudest successes are the ones that stay out of the headlines
– recoveries for adult survivors of child sexual abuse and restraining orders
for victims of stalking. Goldberg is the author of Nobody’s Victim: Fighting
Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs & Trolls.
Eugene Volokh. is the Gary T. Schwartz Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law,
where he specializes in First Amendment law and in law and technology. He is the
author of the textbooks The First Amendment and Related Statutes (7th ed. 2020)
and Academic Legal Writing (5th ed. 2016), as well as over 100 law review
articles. He is a member of The American Law Institute, and the founder and
coauthor of The Volokh Conspiracy, a Weblog (independent 2002-2014, hosted at
the Washington Post 2014-2017, hosted at Reason from 2017).


EVENT MODERATOR

Mary-Rose Papandrea is the Samuel Ashe Distinguished Professor of Constitutional
Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law. After graduating from
Yale College and the University of Chicago Law School, Papandrea clerked for
U.S. Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter as well as Hon. Douglas Ginsburg of
the D.C. Circuit and Hon. John G. Koeltl of the Southern District of New York.
She then practiced law for several years at Williams & Connolly LLP in
Washington, DC, where she specialized in First Amendment and media law
litigation. She teaches a range of courses, including First Amendment and media
law, and she serves as the Faculty Symposium Advisor for the First Amendment Law
Review. She has written numerous law review articles and book chapters about
various First Amendment and media law topics. From 2021-22, she led the
University of North Carolina’s strategic initiative to promote democracy.
