The 5th Circuit recently upheld H.B. 20, Texas's law banning social media platforms from censoring users based on viewpoint. This has created a split with the 11th Circuit, which held that a substantially similar Florida law violated platforms' First Amendment rights. What does this mean for social media content moderation, and how might the Supreme Court approach these issues? Join JOLTT on Monday, October 17 for "The Fate of Content Moderation: Constitutional and Practical Implications of the Texas Social Media Law." This panel discussion will explore the ramifications of Texas's social media law from legal and technical perspectives. Lunch will be provided. Please see the link for more details and to RSVP.

This panel discussion will consider the expansion beyond physical detention of migrants to new digital restrictions on liberty, including ankle monitors and intrusive reporting apps. The panelists will raise legal concerns regarding the rapid buildup of immigration detention and digital monitoring over several decades and will present videography of the impacts on migrants. The panel will also look at the overlap between the use of detention and surveillance in the immigration and criminal justice systems and offer insights from the perspective of work in the criminal justice system. It will further place detention and electronic monitoring into context by considering the history of violence and dehumanization of Latinos and other people of color. The panel will conclude by considering opportunities for further research and advocacy on these critical issues.

Join the Center for Women in Law on October 19, 2022, for a discussion with Sherry Boschert, Author of 37 Words: Title IX and Fifty Years of Fighting Sex Discrimination.

Half a century of legal battles and social backlash revolve around a law that girls and women wield to demand fairness in education — a law called Title IX. 37 Words is the first book to tell the complete history of Title IX through the gutsy people behind it, from women denied jobs at the law’s beginnings to students struggling against sexual assault today. Their intersecting narratives offer a timeless playbook for anyone who is horrified by current attacks on women’s rights and is wondering what to do about them.

In this talk, Dr. Farfán will discuss how, amidst over 100,000 overdose deaths in the U.S., with 35,000 annual homicides and more than 100,000 missing people in Mexico, bilateral security cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico could not be more pressing, yet continues to be one of the most complicated areas of the relationship between these two neighbors. She will contemplate whether, almost one year after the announcement of the Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health and Safe Communities, the two nations are on track to resolving these important security challenges.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be served. For more information, contact Brittany Horton at brittany.horton@austin.utexas.edu.

The Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center and the Asia Policy Program welcome Nury Turkel, Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, to discuss his new book "No Escape: The True Story of China’s Genocide of the Uyghurs".

"No Escape: The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs" is a harrowing personal account of the biggest human rights crisis of the twenty-first century. It describes conditions in the Uyghur homeland, referred to by the Chinese government as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. In the past few years, the entire region has been turned into an intensive surveillance state, with millions placed in modern-day “re-education” camps in what is the largest mass detention of an ethno-religious group since the Holocaust.

Join us in conversation with Nury Turkel and Dr. Sheena Greitens, Director of the Asia Policy Program at UT, to discuss this memoir and the questions it raises regarding the US and global policy response to the Chinese Communist Party.

Event will be held at the LBJ Bass Lecture Hall. Lunch will be offered beginning at 11:45am. Visitors may park for free in Lot 38.

Registration at the link is appreciated for planning purposes but not required for attendance. Thank you!
