Sigal Ben-Porath is a Professor of Literacy, Culture, and International Education at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. Her latest book, Cancel Wars, argues that the escalating struggles over “cancel culture,” “safe spaces,” and free speech on college campuses are a manifestation of broader democratic erosion in the United States. Ben-Porath sets out to demonstrate the role of the university in American society and, specifically, how it can model free speech in ways that promote democratic ideals.
The PPE Speaker Series is a student-centered lecture event. Speakers share a brief (30-minute) sample of their work and invite students to engage the material with questions and conversation.
