The Consensus

Mike Pence's speech at Georgetown was a controversial event on campus. There were a range of viewpoints, from more conservative students who were thrilled to have their views represented on campus, to those on the left who felt some of the former VP's views should have been disqualifying in having him visit. I sat down with Georgetown student Victoria Davis to get her thoughts, as our discussion covered everything from the specifics of Pence's visit to broader concerns about speech and political diversity at Georgetown.

On this special episode of The Consensus, we conduct four interviews with Carolyn Foote, James Garrow, Amanda Jennings, and Evan Haige discussing the topic of book banning. These incredible guests bring a variety of perspectives, including the activist, educator, and student lens.
