The Hempstead 15: A Case Study in Free Speech


Submitted by Adria on October 20, 2008 - 1:42pm


I'm currently at work on my prospectus for my dissertation. A few of my research questions thus far (in rough draft stage, I know):
•How has the ideological terrain of free speech changed since nine-eleven? Why?
•How have the changes in free speech impacted political agency/political practice?
•How have the changes in free speech restrained or opened up new sites of struggle/political agency?
•How are the norms of free speech located in power? Under what conditions is free speech oppressive? Who has free speech? Who gets to decide who has free speech?
