Free Speech Under Fire: Greg Lukianoff on the New Age of Censorship
Lobero Theatre 6 PM drinks & conversation on the Esplanade
Spotlight Santa Barbara is proud to present New York Times best-selling author, lawyer, free speech warrior, and someone who has appeared on CNN, Fox News, CBS News, The Today Show and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher—Mr. Greg Lukianoff.
Greg is the CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and has co-authored The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure with Jonathan Haidt, and its follow-up, The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All with Rikki Schlott and, most recently, The War On Words: 10 Arguments Against Free Speech with Nadine Strossen. His musings have appeared in the Atlantic, New York Times, Washington Post, New York Post, Los Angeles Times, National Review and The Free Press.
“The real world doesn’t have trigger warnings or safe spaces. It’s up to us to prepare young people to face it with strength and confidence.” The Coddling of the American Mind.
With antisemitism on the rise and ICE protests proliferating there is no better person than Greg Lukianoff to help us understand the contours of free speech at a time when it matters most!
TOPICS INCLUDE: The rise of our “Call Out Culture” and “Mob Censorship” | The dangers of “Safetyism” and “Paranoid Parenting” | When protected “Speech” crosses the line | Trump’s law firm crackdown, and much more.
All questions or suggestions for Greg-topics can be submitted by email through our Spotlight website.
VIP OPPORTUNITY: Early ticket buyers will be offered the limited opportunity to join Greg for a bespoke after-event cocktail party and to receive a signed book. Buy early! (separate ticket)
