Hope walks here at ASU. Devils 4 Devils and USG-Tempe are partnering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to host the 5th annual Out of the Darkness Campus Walk at ASU.

The Italian Program at ASU celebrates the re-inauguration of the Pier Raimondo Baldini Italian Library (est. 2021), a vibrant space dedicated to Italian literature, language and culture. 

Honoring the legacy of Professor Baldini, the library supports teaching, research and community engagement. The event is distinguished by the attendance of the Consul General of Italy in Los Angeles and the Director of the Italian Cultural Institute, underscoring the library’s cultural and international importance.

Advances in artificial intelligence present new opportunities to strengthen democratic representation rather than weaken it. This talk explores how AI tools can be used to better inform the public, more effectively gather and interpret public input, and communicate citizens’ priorities to democratic representative bodies.

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, founders of the United States, believed in the importance of freedom of conscience, which may be connected to freedom to exercise one’s thoughts and beliefs as well as to freedom of speech and press. U.S. Supreme Court opinions subsequently connected freedom of expression to fundamental liberties recognized in the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The panelists will reflect on specific values and institutions represented in the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution. Drawing on interdisciplinary expertise across Political Science, Political Economy and History, they will discuss how these reflect America’s founding documents’ promises of Limited Government, Habeas Corpus and Due Process including for minorities; and “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Organized in partnership with the School of Politics and Global Studies.
