Speaking 
- I spoke on a panel at the University of Mary Washington as part of its Presidential Inauguration Week. The panel was titled “Higher Education in the Disinformation Age: Can America’s public liberal arts universities restore critical thinking and civility in public discourse?” The other panelists included Steve Farnsworth (University of Mary Washington), Sara Cobb (George Mason University), and Julian Hayter (University of Richmond). My remarks are linked above
