Free speech and inclusion on campus Distinguished Lecture Series

About the event

Why is offensive speech on campus protected? Do we need safe spaces and trigger warnings? How should universities balance free speech with protecting an equal learning environment?

Howard Gillman is chancellor of the University of California, Irvine, and a leading constitutional scholar. His recent book, Free Speech on Campus, coauthored with the dean of UC Berkeley’s School of Law, offers perspectives on the controversy over offensive speech on campus and a guide to what can and cannot be done to restrict it.
