The Content and Context of "Hate Speech": Rethinking Regulation and Remedies

The conference sought to reinvigorate and advance the debate over regulating "hate speech" and what constitutes "reasonable" regulation. It featured Robert Post, Dean of Yale Law School, as keynote speaker. Panelists reviewed subjects such as "hate speech" and religion; "hate speech", discrimination and segregation; incitement to genocide; and the significance of content and context in harm and danger related arguments for regulating "hate speech".

It was the closing event of a weekly colloquium on the same subject. Both the conference and the colloquium were convened by Peter Molnar, CMCS, and Michael Herz, Cardozo School of Law, on the basis of their forthcoming book The Content and Context of "Hate Speech": Rethinking Regulation and Remedies.

Organized by the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University, and the CMCS.
