"Youth To Power"

"May The Quote Be With You"
Liv Steinhardt
During the summer of 2022, Lucas Lippey was fortunate enough to intern with the Office of Congressman David Cicilline of Rhode Island, where he became passionate about youth participation in politics and discovered the key disparities between representatives and the general public. In his talk “Youth to Power,” Lucas will discuss the ways young activists can demand the representation they are entitled to and assist in the fight to save our democracy.
We recycle our favorite movie quotes all the time, and beyond putting them on clothes, menus, and bumper stickers, we use them in our daily vocabulary. Film quotes have become shorthand for emotional expression – Liv’s talk analyzes their potential as tools for communication.

"Out of Line: The Ethics of
Cancel Culture"
The Ethics of Cancel Culture explores the current issue of self-censorship and ideological conformity plaguing academia and discussions today. Diversity of thought is a beautiful thing and to dismiss it through public shaming of unpopular opinions is to dismiss learning. Sophia’s talk analyzes how cancel culture has integrated itself beyond the internet to classroom and dinner tables, and it can lead us to censor our authentic selves.
