The University of Chicago Law School presents the 2022 Ulysses and Marguerite Schwartz Memorial Lecture Democracy, Social Media and Free Expression featuring Justice Luís Roberto Barroso

The social media allows unprecedented levels of connectivity, but also poses profound challenges to politics and society.  Like other countries, Brazil has experienced these challenges in its democratic processes.  Justice Barroso will present his views on these challenges and how electoral institutions can respond.

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

This is a mask-optional convening.  We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring to wear masks to do so.
