Synopsis:

Wesleyan University President Michael S. Roth’s new book Safe Enough Spaces: A Pragmatist’s Approach to Inclusion, Free Speech, and Political Correctness on College Campuses stakes out a pragmatist path through the thicket of issues facing colleges today to carry out the mission of higher education.

With great empathy, candor, subtlety, and insight, Roth offers a nuanced take on the debates surrounding affirmative action, political correctness and free speech, urging us to envision college as a space in which students are empowered to engage with criticism and with a variety of ideas.

Join us for a discussion of the role colleges should play in preserving freedom of speech on campus with Michael S. Roth in this edition of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
