Cancel Culture, Free Speech, and Censorship with Greg Lukianoff

Greg Lukianoff, First Amendment attorney and president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), dives headfirst into the pressing issues of free speech and the impact of cancel culture in the academic world. Lukianoff discusses troubling trends at prestigious universities, where ideological biases collide with assertions of political neutrality, particularly on display during recent intense protests against the Israel-Hamas conflict. He presents a compelling, data-backed account from his latest book, “The Canceling of the American Mind,” co-authored with Rikki Schlott, revealing how a culture of censorship stifles speech and academic freedom.

Lukianoff is also known for co-writing "The Coddling of the American Mind/" with Jonathan Haidt.
