Bonus: The Problem with Reimagining the First Amendment w/ Tom Leatherbury Esq.

In yet another behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of our Winter Research Cohort, we watch our change agents absorb, process, and adapt to new information.  In this episode, Tom Leatherbury, the Director of SMU Dedman School of Law's First Amendment Clinic, visits the cohort to discuss what happens when you try to incorrectly apply the First Amendment, helping our cohort avoid taking a costly wrong turn during the early stages of our research.     Here's the Problem is a production of the Teen Think Tank Project, a student-run policy institute that develops policy frameworks for social justice issues and empowers students to become agents of change.

Here’s the problem...the world is a mess; but a mediator and political scientist think they have figured out a way to change the current disheartening trajectory of our society. Motivated by a shared passion for creating a positive change in the world and empowering others to rise as leaders, Matthew DeSantis and Kelly Nagle founded the Teen Think Tank Project, with the vision of giving a future generation of change agents a voice in the world they will inherit. In order to facilitate the goals of the Teen Think Tank Project and engage both our students and our listeners in thought-provoking conversations, we’ve created this podcast. Each week, thought leaders and experts will join Kelly to explore a specific problem facing our society. We will rely on fact-based information, listen to understand and challenge our own ingrained perspectives. Because at Here’s the Problem Podcast we believe that this is the only way to chart a course towards cooperation, empathy and ultimately effective change.
