A Transatlantic Festival: Liberté d’expression, Free Speech, and "Cancel Culture"

Talk I: Religion

Presented on Friday, April 23, 2021

In English

What does religious freedom mean in the public sphere? The French concept of laïcité, the result of a long historical struggle of the Republic against the power of the Church, has no equivalent in the US. Many Americans even consider it liberticidal for its apparent limitations on religious practice and observance. Are these concerns valid or a misconstruction? Is there still support for free speech when it comes to religion?

Keynote Speaker: Suzanne Nossel

With Philippe Lançon, Caroline Fourest

Moderated by Emily Hamilton

90 minutes with Q&A

Co-presented by La Maison française of NYU, The Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the US, and FIAF
