University of Vermont Presidential Lecture Series: Hate: Why We Should Resist It With Free Speech, Not Censorship

Description

From the University of Vermont:

Each academic year, the University of Vermont explores an aspect of today’s society through several components of its Presidential Lecture Series. Each lecture, made possible by endowments from generous donors, explores a particular aspect of that theme.

For the 2024-25 academic year, the university explores the perennial but newly clamorous question of free speech. Who can, cannot, does, and does not speak in the public and private sphere? Why and why not?

Nadine Strossen, former president of the American Civil Liberties Union and professor emeritus at New York University, will deliver the Aiken Lecture. Strossen is best known for convictions concisely encapsulated in the title of her 2018 book, HATE: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship. Introduced by Interim President Patty Prelock.
