This year's Global Public Voices fellows are expanding the reach of Cornell's academic expertise as thought leaders in the campus community’s yearlong exploration of freedom of expression.
Select GPV alumni return in 2024 as seasoned media voices, ready to advocate on global free speech questions central to current events, public policy, and their international research expertise.
Partnering with Cornell media relations, Einaudi’s GPV Freedom of Expression Faculty Fellows will make their voices heard nationally and internationally with regular freedom of expression commentary, including op-eds, explainers, news briefs, and media appearances. Follow their work this year on Global Public Voices in the Media.
This distinguished group of faculty will also mentor Einaudi’s new Undergraduate Global Scholars as they complete a capstone project on freedom of expression with a global mindset.
