She studies the origin, history, and importance of freedom of speech in the university setting, and addresses the relevance and pitfalls of political correctness and microaggressions on campuses, where laws on harassment, discrimination, and hate speech are already in place, along with other concepts that have gained currency in the free speech debate, including deplatforming, trigger warning, and safe space. Looking at numerous free speech disputes in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, the book argues for the equal application of the free speech principle to all expressions to facilitate respectful debates. All in all, it affirms that the right to free expression is a natural right essential to the pursuit of truth, democratic governance, and self-development, and this right is nowhere more important than in the university. 606 $aAcademic freedom 606 $aFreedom of speech$zGreat Britain 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 606 $aFreedom of speech$zCanada 615 0$aAcademic freedom. 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aFreedom of speech 676 $a371.1/04 686 $aEDU001030$aLAW018000$2bisacsh 700 $aLai$b Amy$01774765 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734401203321 996 $aIn defense of free speech in universities$94287824 997 $aUNINA
