Listen Later

NADINE STROSSEN

Nadine Strossen, is an activist, professor, and was the first woman and youngest president of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). She is also the author of the book "HATE: Why We Should Resist it With Free Speech, Not Censorship," which explores arguments around "Hate Speech" vs. "Free Speech."

We discuss the definition of hate speech, and how one quantifies harm caused when hate speech is directed at individuals or groups. We also explore legal arguments around censorship, as well as, non-censorial methods for curbing hateful speech.
