Lecture: When “Free Speech” Is Actually Its Opposite: Room 2308
Thurs., May 3: 12:30-2:30pm
The Faculty Senate Council presents the lecture: When ‘Free Speech’ Is Actually Its Opposite. Shon Meckfessel, English professor at Highline College, will give a talk on the limits, perils, and contradictions of “free speech” discourse, especially in light of how alt-right groups have used First Amendment Rights against universities in order to call into question the values of inclusion, diversity, and anti-discrimination.
This event emerges from the need expressed by faculty, staff, administrators, and students to gain a more critical understanding of “free speech,” to learn more about the boundaries of what “free speech” means, and to take a critical stance against white supremacist actions within and across college campuses.
