The View From Inside the NSA
Event Details
How can the US government protect our national security and advance our foreign policy while also respecting our commitment to privacy and civil liberties? After the leaks by Chelsea (née Bradley) Manning and Edward Snowden, that's the question President Obama put to Geoffrey R. Stone, JD'71, University of Chicago law professor and leading constitutional scholar. In this lecture Stone will recount his work on the presidential review group and share his far-reaching conclusions on the state of the nation in the age of the National Security Agency.
Geoffrey R. Stone is the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. After serving as a clerk to Supreme Court justice William J. Brennan Jr., Stone joined the University of Chicago faculty, eventually serving as dean of the Law School and provost of the University. He is the author or coauthor of several books on constitutional law, most recently The NSA Report: Liberty and Security in a Changing World (2014). His upcoming book, Sexing the Constitution, will explore the history of sex, from ancient Greece to contemporary constitutional law.
