Division of Undergraduate Education
We shall take up the nature of public speech from Socrates' public dissent to social media messaging today. The course reading will combine classic philosophical statements about the value of free, subversive and offensive speech; histories of the emergence of public spheres; and sociologies of technologically-mediated speech today. With openness to divergent perspectives we shall tackle difficult regulatory questions about hate speech and digital platforms.
