About this Event
This is a 4-day symposium! Please register for each section you'd like to attend.
The UO community is invited to this enlightening 4-day symposium to listen to and converse with international journalists, writers in exile, and scholars of journalism starting April 4 to 7 in the EMU Ballroom. Dozens of global experts and partners will be on our campus to tell their stories of successful reporting despite extreme dangers and threat to their voice and journalistic integrity. Threatened journalists speak and inspire our students, faculty, and staff.
During this event, you’ll experience, witness, and engage in:
- Graphic documentation of attacks on journalists is displayed.
- Interludes of music and poetry stimulate contemplation, reflection, and discussion.
- Conversation and connection with speakers and experts during coffee breaks and receptions.
- Off-campus students reporting on how the journalism crisis in Mexico impacts migrant communities in Oregon.
The symposium will be divided into themes depending on the day:
- IMPUNITY: Thursday from 1:00 to 7:30 p.m.
- FROM KABUL TO HARARE: Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
