Hi Deji, Thank you for the message and sorry for replying just now. Crazy period.
This does seem like a very important topic. My job now is until the end of November to pick a "digest" speaker. I.e., someone who gives a broad introduction to the topic of public policy/censorship. Then a call for submission will be open. I want you in the programme for sure! Just wondering whether you'd prefer to give a broad talk or a more specific one?
