This is a recording of our virtual event Free Speech on Campus hosted on October 20, 2020.
A panel discussion about the current state of free expression on college campuses. A part of #UNCResearchWeek, our panelists discuss the "Free Expression and Constructive Dialogue at UNC-Chapel Hill" report composed by UNC Profs. Jennifer Larson, Mark McNeilly, and Timothy Ryan. You can read more about the study’s conclusions and find a link to the full report on The Daily Tar Heel. Profs. Larson and McNeilly also discussed the report with the James G. Martin Center earlier this year.
The panel was composed of:
Greg Lukianoff, President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, FIRE, and co-author of the New York Times best-seller, The Coddling of the American Mind.
Sigal Ben-Porath, Ph.D., a professor in the Literacy, Culture, and International Education Division of the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education.
Jacqueline Pfeffer Merrill, Ph.D., Director of the Campus Free Expression Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Moderated by Prof. Kevin Marinelli, Executive Director of the UNC Program for Public Discourse.
