Unsafe Space : The Crisis of Free Speech on Campus Paperback / softback

Edited by Tom Slater

Paperback / softback

Description

The academy is in crisis. Students call for speakers to be banned, books to be slapped with trigger warnings and university to be a Safe Space, free of offensive words or upsetting ideas.

But as tempting as it is to write off intolerant students as a generational blip, or a science experiment gone wrong, they’ve been getting their ideas from somewhere.

Bringing together leading journalists, academics and agitators from the US and UK, Unsafe Space is a wake-up call.

From the war on lad culture to the clampdown on climate sceptics, we need to resist all attempts to curtail free speech on campus.

But society also needs to take a long, hard look at itself.

Our inability to stick up for our founding, liberal values, to insist that the free exchange of ideas should always be a risky business, has eroded free speech from within.
