Charlie Hebdo and the Limits of Toleration
Professor Elisabetta Galeotti is a leading European expert on toleration and the author of a groundbreaking book on Toleration and Respect.Reflecting on the massacre at the French magazine Charlie Hebdo, she raises some questions about the nature and limits of toleration. Drawing upon the techniques of political philosophy, her talk analyzes the concepts of freedom of expression, censorship, and the protection of religious sensibilities. She argues that more rather than less toleration is needed in Europe today—albeit –toleration of the right kind.
Professor Laurence Thomas (Syracuse University) will reply to Prof. Galeotti.
Professor Glyn Morgan (Syracuse University) will chair the discussion.
Refreshments will be provided.

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
