Re-vision

Auteur(s): PA Humanities
  • Résumé

  • The U.S. Constitution was a radical document in 1787, written by forward-thinking men to guide a new country, America.  Re-vision explores how some of their revolutionary ideas — like freedom of speech and the right to a speedy trial — apply to contemporary issues.  Each episode pairs a scholar with a working practitioner to discuss the meaning and intentions of this founding document and its real life implications today. Re-vision will consist of four podcast episodes and will debut this September in the lead up to and following Constitution Day on September 17th.
