Nadine Strossen |
Fall Miller Lecture “How Should We Resist Hate? Free Speech vs. Censorship” Nadine's presentation will explain why the grand goals of the Miller Lecture – “celebrating human dignity and encouraging better understanding between people” – are best promoted by freedom of speech, even for hateful, extremist, and false speech. Although calls to censor such speech are well-intentioned, experience demonstrates that censorship inevitably is at best ineffective, and at worst counterproductive, in advancing these important goals. She will dispel several common misunderstandings about free speech law that undermine support for it. She will also discuss the many non-censorial measures that are more constructive in promoting individual dignity and intergroup understanding. She is especially looking forward to the audience Q&A session, because she is eager to answer as many questions and comments as possible that audience members may have about any free speech issues. |
