This program is part of Deep Dive: Free Speech, a special Chicago Humanities Festival series curated by Geoffrey Stone.

Hate speech in the context of our national conversation around racial and social justice renews the question: How far should first amendment protection to freedom of speech extend? Public views on the issue are divided and answers to this question vary across the political spectrum. Join us for a panel discussion about the possibilities and limitations of regulating hate speech with legal scholar Geoffrey Stone, former ACLU president Nadine Strossen, and President of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative Mary Anne Franks.

This program is the third panel in a special series Deep Dive: Speech, curated by Geoffrey Stone

This 3-part series curated and hosted by legal scholar Geoffrey Stone (Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago) will consider a variety of perspectives on free speech in the 21st century. We'll explore some of the forces driving wide-ranging debates around First Amendment rights in our moment, including freedom of the press and national security, the role of social media platforms and internet companies, and hate speech.
