About the conference听

The governance of speech remains one of the most difficult topics in public policy today. While free speech is foundational to democracy, forms of expression that mislead and deceive, that incite hatred, or foment violence and discrimination, all pose direct dangers to democracy and to human rights.听听

This half-day conference (in person and online) will explore the legal, philosophical and policy dimensions of these tensions through the Supreme Court of Canada鈥檚 latest decision on the interactions among freedom of speech, human dignity, and equality law. The Court鈥檚 2021 decision in鈥� reset the boundaries of free speech and equality law. Both areas circumscribe the protection of fundamental freedoms, the rights of minorities, and of peoples with disabilities鈥�禄 Each has important implications for the forthcoming federal regulation of online content and safety based on the development of the Court鈥檚 understanding of what constitutes 鈥渟ocial harm.鈥澨�

Humour, Hate and Harm offers a unique opportunity in an intimate setting for students, scholars and the community to discuss these pressing issues of social justice with leaders of Canada鈥檚 human rights institutions, as well as prominent constitutional and human rights litigators, and anti-racism organizations. Seating is limited to facilitate discussion and interaction.听听
