In this episode I chat to Benjamin Boyce who was a student at Evergreen State College when student protests broke out in May 2017. Evergreen is a liberal arts college in the State of Washington in the north west of the United States. The protests catapulted the college into the bullseye of international debates that focused on free speech, race, privilege and identity. Benjamin Boyce graduated from the college in June 2017 and has spent much of his time since then documenting the protests and their aftermath. This material, as well as interviews with people discussing a range of topical issues, can be found on his YouTube channel 'Benjamin A. Boyce'. His podcast is called 'The Boyce of Reason' and he can be found and followed on Twitter @BenjaminABoyce
