What can we learn from what happened on Canadian and Quebec campuses?
Protests about the war in Gaza broke out on campuses across Canada and Quebec. University administrations responded in many ways – from almost immediately calling in brutal police repression, to seeking injunctions, to negotiating creative resolutions with the protesting students, faculty, and staff. Where does this leave rights to freedom of expression and of assembly on campus? Join this impressive panel in a conversation about what can we learn from these events.

Jamie Cameron, Professor Emerita for Constitutional Law, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University
