Student Takeover: University Students Discuss Free Speech
10/03/22 • 47 min
In something of a ‘student takeover’ of the Free Speech Union Podcast, university students Adam, Tommy, and Robbie talk about free speech from the student perspective. Tomas shares his experience of the recent Free Speech Union event at Otago University and the discussion gets philosophical as the three discuss the seemingly partisan nature of the modern free speech context, alongside why it is so important for the students and activists of today, and why it may be that the importance of free speech is not quite as recognised among the modern left as it once was.
