Title: “Free Speech on Campus. A Challenge for Universities in the U.S. and in Germany”

Speakers:
R. Jay Wallace (University of California, Berkeley)
Paul Nolte (Freie Universität Berlin)

Moderation:

Jessica Gienow-Hecht (Freie Universität Berlin)

This lecture is the fourth in the series “Veritas, Iustitia, Libertas”, organized in the context of the 70th anniversary of Freie Universität Berlin. Philosopher R. Jay Wallace (University of California, Berkeley) and historian Paul Nolte (Freie Universität Berlin) will discuss current debates on Free Speech in the U.S. and Germany, with a focus on their own campuses.

In recent years, the issue of free speech has returned to campuses in unexpected ways. Initially tied to the right to political activity on campus, free speech nowadays is often a contested concept in the quest for diverse and respectful learning environments. How should one prevent hate speech on campus without restricting free speech? And how should one protect free inquiry and academic freedom in an increasingly polarized political environment?
