Lecture 3 - Rights and responsibilities on campus and in our professions: Free speech and protest
Kathryn Sikkink proposes that effective protest must not drown out opposing voices. Looking at instances of successful protest and drawing on her own experience protesting a speaker at an academic conference, Sikkink highlights the importance of being strategic in the choice of tactics to avoid alienating potential supporters or inadvertently winning supporters for the other side.
