Building on the success of and timely messages in Free Speech Handbook, author and adjunct Associate Professor Ian Rosenberg is back with a newly updated paperback edition (from Macmillan/23rd Street Books) that also addresses the new wave of book censorship and features illustrations from Mike Cavallaro, an artist who has worked in comics and animation since the early 1990s. Publishers Weekly called Free Speech Handbook an “informative and inspiring guide” in a starred review. Drawing on parallels between 10 seminal Supreme Court cases and current events, this newly released graphic edition creates a practical framework for understanding our free speech protections. To celebrate the re-release, the Ethyle Wolfe Institute for the Humanities will host a “New Books by BC Faculty” event with Rosenberg and Cavallaro on September 29 at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom. Additional information and the registration link are available here. Rosenberg has more than 25 years of experience as a media lawyer, specializing in First Amendment, libel, and intellectual property law. He graduated with distinction from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and magna cum laude from Cornell Law School. An Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, Rosenberg has been teaching media law to graduate students in the Department of Television, Radio & Emerging Media since 2016.
