Free Speech with Jacob Mchangama

By Jason Heale December 19, 2022

On November 4th this year Maxim Institute, in partnership with the Free Speech Union, hosted international human-rights advocate and free speech expert Jacob Mchangama. Jacob is the founder of the Justitia institute, the Copenhagen-based human rights think-tank. Having written and narrated the podcast Clear and Present Danger: A History of Free Speech and authored Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media, Jacob is a prominent and experienced figure in the free speech space.

In this presentation, Jacob offers some historical context to our current free-speech climate, outlining some of the dangers he sees in limiting free speech and responding to questions from the audience.

We are pleased to present this recording of the event to you; we hope that you will find it insightful, instructive, and challenging. Head to our website at www.maxim.org.nz/sign-up to register for event emails so you don’t miss out.

You can subscribe to our podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Stitcher, and Spotify.
