Genevieve Lakier is professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School. Her work examines the changing meaning of freedom of speech in the United States, the role that legislatures play in safeguarding free speech values, and the fight over freedom of speech on the social media platforms. Between 2006 and 2008, she was an academy scholar at the Weatherhead Center for International and Area Studies at Harvard University. Her work has appeared in the Harvard Law Review, the Columbia Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law, and Supreme Court Review.
