Expert guidance for navigating the difficult new issues around free speech rights in higher education In their earlier book, Free Speech on Campus, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman argued that colleges and universities should permit the expression of the widest possible range of views. Nearly ten tumultuous years later, many issues have arisen that this simple principle does not adequately address. To what extent must an institution provide expensive security for extremely controversial speakers?

When Nazis wanted to express their right to free speech in 1977 by marching through Skokie, Illinois—a town with a large population of Holocaust survivors—Aryeh Neier, then the national executive director of the ACLU and himself a Holocaust survivor, came to the Nazis' defense.

Noch nie gab es in der Bundesrepublik so viele und so strenge Gesetze zur Regulierung und Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit wie heute. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren ist eine Vielzahl neuer Paragrafen hinzugekommen, um bestimmte Äußerungen zu verbieten. Ronen Steinke zeigt auf, wo neuerdings die Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit verlaufen, auch im digitalen Raum. Gerade in der gegenwärtigen volatilen Lage, so argumentiert der promovierte Jurist, sollte das Land mehr Meinungsfreiheit wagen, anstatt zu glauben, man überzeuge Menschen, indem man ihnen den Mund verbietet.

Climate change: a man-made doom and gloom disastrous event on the horizon, or a false god made up by a clever devil often called Lucifer? This book offers some common sense to help you decide.

Dieses Hörbuch ist keine gemütliche Erzählung, sondern ein Schlag ins Gesicht der Illusion, in Freiheit zu leben. Es entlarvt die hässliche Fratze moderner Demokratien, die sich den Anschein von Rechtsstaat und Menschenrechten geben, während sie im Kern auf Angst, Ausgrenzung und Unterdrückung gebaut sind. Politische Verfolgung ist kein Relikt vergangener Jahrhunderte, sie ist das Fundament heutiger Machtstrukturen. Wer widerspricht, wird gebrochen. Wer die Wahrheit ausspricht, wird entrechtet.

Comment expliquer que le terme «?consentement?» occupe aujourd'hui une telle place dans le débat public, alors qu'il en était pratiquement absent il y a une dizaine d'années ? Et que signifie-t-il, au regard des usages multiples qui en sont faits, dans le champ de la philosophie, du droit, de la politique et du langage ordinaire ? Ces questions sont d'autant plus fondamentales que, selon le domaine dans lequel il est mobilisé, le consentement possède de nombreuses significations parfois sans rapport. Historiquement, l'idée de consentement remonte à l'Antiquité grecque et romaine.

W.E.B. Du Bois, who drew from his own experiences as an African-American living in American society, explores the concept of "double-consciousness"—a term he uses to describe living as an African-American and having a "sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others." With Du Bois' examination of Black life in post-Civil War America, his explanation of the meaning of emancipation and its effect, and his views on the roles of the black leaders of his time, The Souls of Black Folk is one of the important early works in the field of sociology.

Katherine 'Kitty' Marshall was destined to break with convention. Brought up in a socially active family, her inherent rebellious streak came into play in 1901, when she daringly divorced her husband and joined the newly founded Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), campaigning for women's suffrage. In 1904, she married solicitor Arthur Willoughby Marshall and the couple soon became a powerhouse team in the movement: Arthur defending the suffragettes in court while Kitty, trained in jujitsu and a member of the WSPU's elite team 'the Bodyguard'.

Moralisch Weltspitze, klimabewusst, divers, postkolonial, aber voller Illusionen – ein Sittenbild der bunten deutschen Republik. Man kratzt sich am Kopf. War Deutschland nicht eben noch das beliebteste Land der Welt, beneideter Exportweltmeister und begehrter Investitionsstandort mit einer funktionierenden Verwaltung und bestens ausgebildeten Fachkräften? Der Dreiklang aus Demokratie, Marktwirtschaft und einer Arbeitsdisziplin, die im Rest der Welt zugleich gefürchtet und belächelt wird, hat den Ruf „Made in Germany" zum Weltkulturerbe gemacht.
