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?

For further information, please refer to our website and to the lecture series "Veritas, Iustitia, Libertas: Contours of a Value Oriented University of the Future".

Due to limited seating, we kindly ask you to register via e-mail by November 2, 2018: cic@fu-berlin.de.

We are looking forward to welcoming you!
