Sunday November 2nd • 11:00 AM In-Person and Via Zoom
“Is The Golden Age of Free Speech at an End and Did It Ever Really Exist?”
with Eric Heinze, Professor of Law & Humanities, Director, Centre for Law, Democracy, and Society, School of Law, Queen Mary University of London
The US cherishes its traditional constitutional guarantees of free speech. But how traditional are they? Throughout most of US history, state and local governments curbed public protests with a free hand.
Far from dating back to the Revolution, First Amendment safeguards are mostly the product of US Supreme Court decisions reached only after World War II, which could be called the “Classical Age” of free speech - and which the current administration seeks to bring to an end.
After completing advanced studies in the University of Paris, Harvard Law School, and the University of Leiden, Eric became Professor of Law in the University of London. He has been a Fulbright Fellow (Utrecht), DAAD fellow (Berlin), and Chateaubriand Fellow (Paris), as well as receiving grants from the Nuffield Foundation, Harvard University, and the European Union.
