So to Speak podcast: Elitist vs. egalitarian free speech (live recording, Q&A)

Jacob Mchangama, author of “Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media"

On today’s episode, we feature a live recording of “So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast” with Jacob Mchangama, author of “Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media,” in conversation with FIRE’s Greg Lukianoff, Sarah McLaughlin, host Nico Perrino, and NYU professor Stephen D. Solomon.

The panelists discuss how lessons from free speech movements throughout world history can help explain today’s divisions over the value of free speech, and how conflicts between egalitarian and elitist schools of free speech thought are still with us in the digital age.

This recording was a co-sponsored event with First Amendment Watch at New York University.
