Can You Say That? Cancel Culture, Free Speech, and the Future of Public Debate

In an era where saying the wrong thing can spark a firestorm—or ignite a movement—what does it really mean to speak freely? Join a bold and timely conversation with Dov Davidoff (comedian and actor), Ernest Owens (author of The Case for Cancel Culture), and Rikki Schlott (co-author of The Canceling of the American Mind with Greg Lukianoff), moderated by Nick Gillespie (editor at large at Reason magazine and host of The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie) as they unpack the politics, power, and pitfalls of cancel culture in today’s society. From the classroom to the comedy club, this panel dives deep into the tensions between accountability and censorship, and asks: Is cancel culture silencing voices, or amplifying those who have gone unheard?
