National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, who revealed global surveillance and data collection efforts , will discuss the state of surveillance in the U.S. with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Ron Suskind via a Google Hangout session at Tulane University this month.

They'll discuss "Mass Surveillance, Secrecy & Democracy: When Data Collection Becomes a Threat to Free Societies, "Restoring Trust: How To Solve The Next Generation of Privacy & Security Dilemmas, and*"National Security Agency or National Surveillance Agency: Our Cyber Defenses Examined."

In 2013, Snowden leaked thousands of documents exposing NSA's global networks of phone and internet surveillance, sparking a debate over efforts in the name of national security and expense of individual privacy. Over the last few years he has participated in teleconference speaking events while seeking asylum abroad from criminal charges in the U.S.
