In October 2016, a University of Toronto psychology professor named Jordan Peterson gave an impassioned speech to student protesters in front of Sidney Smith Hall. The events surrounding Peterson at the time would spark a larger discussion about free speech on university campuses across Canada that continues to this day.
It’s now a widely held belief that campus free speech is under threat from student protesters, campus organizations, and even university officials.
Josephine Mathias produced a documentary investigation into free speech on universities. She joins Dave to talk about what she found.
