Free Speech in the Age of Social Media
Monday 3rd December, 18:30 - 21:00
Bentham House Lecture Theatre, UCL Laws, 4-8 Endsleigh Gardens, London, WC1H 0EG
Organised by the Grand Challenge of Justice & Equality, this evening of discussion will explore the difficulties of upholding freedom of speech in an age when communications cross geographical boundaries, and consequently, country-specific laws governing such practices. The event will comprise a screening of a short historical film from the British Film Institute archive, followed by panel debate around the pressures and means of regulating free speech in cross-governmental organisations. The evening will conclude with a drinks reception. The event will be chaired by Professor Margaret O’Brien, (Director of Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education) with invited speakers:
- Dr Myriam Hunter-Henin (Reader in Law and Religion and Comparative Law, UCL Laws)
- Dr Saladin Meckled-Garcia (Director of UCL Institute for Human Rights and Associate Professor in Human Rights and Political Theory)
- Mr Colm McAuliffe (PhD candidate at Birkbeck College, University of London and Archive TV curator)
