Research summary
AI-generated

R. George Wright studies U.S. constitutional law with a strong focus on free speech, including how the law handles topics like campus speech, libel, misinformation, and threats. Recent work extends these questions to emerging challenges such as social media misinformation, political deepfakes, and the use of artificial intelligence in higher education. The research is largely doctrinal and theoretical, analyzing legal principles and court decisions.
