PUBLIC LECTURE: Unspeakable � a feminist ethic of speech
|
|
An IAS public lecture By Dr Betty McLellan, Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Social Work and Community Welfare at James Cook University, Townsville.
The principle of Freedom of Speech is much valued in democratic societies, but is it free for all?
Do all citizens have equal access to speech and equal opportunity to be heard - men and women, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, rich and poor, governments and citizens, multinational companies and struggling workers?
In this lecture Dr Betty McLellan will discuss these questions, which she raises in her new book 'Unspeakable: a feminist ethic of speech'.
“Reports of the death of feminism by those who would benefit from its demise are grossly exaggerated… Feminism is not dead but, as with other important social movements agitating for justice around the world, there have been serious attempts to silence the voice of feminism”. Betty McLellan.
Cost: Free. All Welcome. No RSVP required.
