SUMMARY:Puffin Interview Series w/ Leader Joe Chuman: “Hate: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech\, Not Censorship” with Nadine Strossen (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Our friends at the Puffin Cultural Forum have announced the Puffin Interview Series with our own Leader Dr. Joe Chuman! \nOn the first Sunday of every month Dr. Chuman will delve into and explore the work of renowned authors through meaningful dialogue in an intimate interview format\, all streamed live on Youtube. There will be an opportunity for audiences to ask their own questions during a Q&A session. \n\nMore Interviews TBA!\nAbout Nadine Strossen and Hate: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech\, Not Censorship \nWe live in an era in which offensive speech is on the rise. The emergence of the alt-right alone has fueled a marked increase in racist and anti-Semitic speech. Given its potential for harm\, should this speech be banned? Nadine Strossen’s Hate: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech\, Not Censorship dispels the many misunderstandings that have clouded the perpetual debates about “hate speech vs. free speech.” She argues that an expansive approach to the First Amendment is most effective at promoting democracy\, equality\, and societal harmony. \nNadine Strossen has written\, taught\, and advocated extensively in the areas of constitutional law and civil liberties\, including through frequent media interviews. From 1991 to 2008\, she served as President of the American Civil Liberties Union\, the first woman to head the nation’s largest and oldest civil liberties organization. Professor Strossen is currently a member of the ACLU’s National Advisory Council\, as well as the Advisory Boards of Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)\, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE)\, Heterodox Academy\, and the National Coalition Against Censorship. When she stepped down as ACLU President in 2008\, three Supreme Court Justices participated in her farewell and tribute luncheon: Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, Antonin Scalia\, and David Souter.

Since 2008\, he has been a part-time Leader of the New York Society for Ethical Culture. He currently teaches on human rights at Columbia University and Hunter College\, and has taught at the United Nations University for Peace in Costa Rica.

SUMMARY:Leader’s Roundtable: Twitter: Philosophical Friend or Foe? (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Bring your lunch and join Leader Dr. Nori Rost and members for an engaging round-table discussion on the issues of the day and recommended readings. \nToday’s articles deal with the Twitter mechanisms that invite vulnerable\, contextual posts and\, with the same mechanisms\, create the risk that what we post will be misquoted\, taken out of context and used to crush us! The second article deals with a case of Twitter being part of the undoing of a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist’s reputation. Was it warranted? Or did Twitter betray this person? Let’s discuss! And while we’re at it\, let’s discuss the philosophy of intimacy. \nTwitter\, the Intimacy Machine – The Raven Magazine \nIan Urbina on the Outlaw Ocean Music Project Scandal – New York Magazine \nClick to join at start time | Zoom ID 861 1417 5760 | Passcode 347145 \nCOVID-19 NOTICE: Only fully-vaccinated Society members are invited to attend in-person.
