Does this mean that the state should refrain from legally restricting racist and religious hate speech? What are the legitimacy conditions for democratic governments more generally? And how do democratic ideals relating to open public discourse interact with democratic ideals relating to social equality? This conference will bring together a range of perspectives in response to these questions, with a particular focus on Professor Eric Heinze’s recent book Hate Speech and Democratic Citizenship (OUP 2016). Topic areas - Applied Ethics - Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality - Philosophy of Law - Social and Political Philosophy Speakers John Gardner, University of Oxford Amanda Greene, University College London Eric Heinze, Queen Mary University of London Jeff Howard, University College London Rae Langton, Cambridge University Maleiha Malik, Kings College London Fabienne Peter, University of Warwick Gavin Phillipson, Durham University Robert Simpson, Monash University Organisers Amanda Greene, University College London Robert Simpson, Monash Philosophy Venue School of Law Queen Mary University of London 67-69 Lincoln's Inn Fields London WC2A 3JB United Kingdom Registration Attendance is open to all academic staff, students, and members of the general public.
