The History Of Free Speech

A free course from FIRE and
The Nomadic Professor

How well do free speech values hold up in the internet age? Is vulgar speech “free speech”? How can speech be violent, if indeed it can be? Is “cancellation” censorship? How should new technologies impact old assumptions about free speech? Are these questions new?

"Absolutely outstanding class with an incredibly skilled, intellectually empowered and knowledgeable professor. I have had numerous history professors [of] great quality. However, Professor Jackson is one of a kind."
