SUMMARY:Locke and Liberty: why toleration still matters today
DESCRIPTION:Living Freedom university primer at Radley College. \nThe rise of cancel culture has made many nervous about free expression and open debate\, even though academic freedom is a core value – and legal duty – of universities. Many students – and even academics – report they self-censor; student societies often encounter problems in terms of inviting diverse speakers. \n  \nHowever\, if universities are to fulfil their purpose as spaces in which to freely explore ideas and develop knowledge\, then nothing should be beyond question or beyond the scope of debate. For students who want to take discussion and debate seriously and make the most of university life\, tolerating different views will be essential.   \n  \nBut what does toleration mean? Today\, while values of tolerance and respect are rhetorically espoused\, increasingly it is argued that tolerating free expression has its limits and society should not be placed at risk of intolerant ideas or even overly judgemental views. Should we tolerate free expression\, or retain a right to be intolerant of intolerance? \nIn this special university primer event\, Tiffany Jenkins will look at the emergence of the important ideal of toleration and explore why it remains important today.  After a short\, accessible talk\, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.  \n  \nSPEAKER\nDR TIFFANY JENKINS\, writer and broadcaster; author\, Strangers and Intimates: the rise and fall of private life\nTiffany Jenkins is a writer\, author and broadcaster.
