The right to free expression is severely threatened in many places in the world, yet it has also never been so passionately defended.
About this Event

The right to free expression is severely threatened in many places in the world, yet it has also never been so passionately defended. This lecture focuses on the recent history of banned literature. It considers the changing nature of literary censorship, arguments in defence of free expression, why literary writers have so frequently pushed the boundaries of the acceptable, and the impact of technology on censorship and free speech.

A lecture by  Professor Rachel Potter
