Inspired by the fabled meeting place in ancient Rome, the CHRLP Forum Reading Group on Power, Mobilization, and Change is founded on the principles of inclusive citizenship and deliberative democracy. 

This conversation with Me Tamara Thermitus, Ad. E, LLM'13, will cover academic freedom, which – like freedom of expression – is not absolute. Universities, as bastions of knowledge, value diversity, particularly in light of the principles of anti-racism and the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. In this context, we will focus on the N-word, an example of words that hurt.
