The UCLA Barbra Streisand Center Inaugural Lecture: Truth in the Public Sphere

  • UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center, The Centennial Terrace (map)

The Barbra Streisand Center was established in 2021 and made possible by the vision and generosity of artist and activist Barbra Streisand. The Streisand Center, housed at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW), will become the future Barbra Streisand Institute at UCLA, a forward-thinking institute dedicated to finding solutions to the most vital social issues. Streisand’s transformative gift helps to expand our combined centers’ reach beyond UCLA and Los Angeles, fund faculty and students, and support research and programming that seek to address critical issues facing people of all genders.

The UCLA Barbra Streisand Center invites you to the inaugural public lecture on the topic of Truth in the Public Sphere

The Center for Truth in the Public Sphere will be the first area of study and advocacy and will focus on truth in the public sphere, which Streisand is especially passionate about. Speakers and research will delve into urgent and existential threats to democracy, and examine how lies and the proliferation of disinformation can destroy a civic sense of decency, as well as entire countries.
