The episode you’re about to hear is being hosted by our student fellows. Our Student Fellows are an interdisciplinary group, representing colleges and specializations across the University of Nebraska. Jeffrey Owusu-Ansah (Law) and Mei Fong Looi (Business) interview Center faculty Professor Kyle Langvardt on how the United States can promote the principal of free speech in a global environment and how the first amendment operates generally on social media and online platforms.

Professor Kyle Langvardt joined the University of Nebraska College of Law faculty in July 2020 as a member of the Nebraska Technology & Governance Center. He is a First Amendment scholar who focuses on the Internet’s implications for free expression both as a matter of constitutional doctrine and as a practical reality. His written work addresses new and confounding policy issues including tech addiction, the collapse of traditional gatekeepers in online media and 3D-printable weapons. Professor Langvardt’s most recent papers appear in the Georgetown Law Journal, the Fordham Law Review and the George Mason Law Review.
