FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Finishing up his summer vacation, Tony Gill got busy with a talk to the Human Rights Media organization at a conference entitled Advancing Humans Rights and Religious Freedom on October 9, 2020. The title of Tony's presentation was "Furthering Emphasis on Civil Society" (video link) and the moderator of the panel said "Well, that was a unique perspective" after he had finished. Despite that comment, Tony was asked back to give a repeat performance although he could not do it at the time requested.
Tony Gill gave a 30-minute presentation (followed by vibrant Q&A) entitled "COVID and the Flattening of Civil Society" at the Institute for Economic Inquiry at Creighton University's Heider College of Business. He appeared via remote delivery so as to practice safe social distancing. Songs by The Housemartins and the Polyphonic Spree were featured, as was a dancing puppet. A video of the event should be forthcoming
