In today's polarized climate, students often grapple with when to speak up and when to hold back. This course explores the complexities of free speech, academic freedom, and self-censorship in higher education. Through case studies, discussions, and real-world examples, students will examine how campus culture, institutional policies, and social dynamics shape what gets said - and what doesn't.
