This show features philosopher Paul-Mikhail Catapang Podosky on the free speech and cancel culture debate.

I appreciated @ezraklein's points on the #FreeSpeech and #CancelCulture debate here – raising the issue of power, the potential harm caused by some speech, some signatories pushing for THEIR free speech – not necessarily free speech in general etc ~ N https://t.co/QmYwtpefS0

It covers the (in)famous ‘A Letter on Justice and Open Debate’ published in Harper’s Magazine and the lesser known ‘A More Specific Letter on Justice and Open Debate’.

We also cover some common misunderstandings of free speech (supporting free speech doesn’t mean actively platforming the most harmful speech above all others!), the way in which discrimination can be subtly embedded into language and the documentary 13^th.

1/ Regarding the apparent fact that the Letter’s organizer wanted to have me sign but the luminaries actually in control cancelled me (I was never asked), it’s been obvious from the start that the Letter was signed by frauds, eager to protect their own status, not the principles. https://t.co/HfeMi8Gtzd

Hate crimes against Muslims in 2015 were up 67%. Hate crimes are highly impacted by political rhetoric (see image 3), going down after Bush's postive remarks in 2001 & up in response to Trump's campaign. It will increase stochastically as Trump keeps coarsening his rhetoric. pic.twitter.com/30FI6bBkvC

We also discuss subjectivity and objectivity in academic writing, science and animals, links between community and avoiding activist burnout, the Melbourne Anarchist Bookfair, and the femme panel from the most recent ICAS conference.

I really enjoyed hearing @aimeeterese on @revleftradio highlighting the way in which liberal intellectuals like Sam Harris who attempt to be or at least appear "non-ideological" simply means privileging dominant ideologies and voices: https://t.co/NgEzrwIg6d

Sam Castro.

This episode features a talk from activist Sam Castro on challenging sexism within progressive movements and creating system change. This talk was recorded at the 2018 Students of Sustainability conference in Melbourne. Sam is an activist with Friends of the Earth and WACA, and has been on our podcast all the way back on episode 65, discussing direct action.

Some of the points that came up in Sam’s workshop that we have covered on previous episodes are call in versus call out culture and Men of Colour being more likely to be called out for sexism. We also covered the #MeToo movement on episode 191.

If you’d like to join in discussions on this topic and others, we encourage you to join us at the upcoming forum ‘Community as Activism: Building Community within the Animal Liberation Movement and Beyond’ by the Institute for Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) Oceania. This free event will feature sessions on transformative justice and #MeToo, as well as intersectionality in practice and building community. It will be held on Saturday 4 August, 1-5pm at Library at the Dock (107 Victoria Harbour Promenade, Docklands) – in Melbourne.

Join us at our #CommunityAsActivism discussion forum!
Workshops on #intersectionality, transformative justice particularly in light of #MeToo, and building community.
