Sheldonian Series: Cancel Culture

Sheldonian Series: Cancel Culture

The Sheldonian Series continues this academic year, looking first at 'Cancel Culture' on Tuesday 21 October.

Join the Vice-Chancellor to hear from panellists who will be discussing whether cancellation is a threat to free expression, or a necessary means of accountability.

This event is open to all and aims to promote freedom of speech and inclusive inquiry within the collegiate University, as part of the wider Sheldonian Series.

Panellists

• Sunder Katwala - Director of the British Future think tank
• Helen Mountfield KC - Trustee for Index on Censorship, barrister, and Principal of Mansfield College
• Zoe Williams - Journalist, columnist and author at The Guardian
• Lord Young of Acton - General Secretary of the Free Speech Union and Conservative peer

The Vice-Chancellor will open and close the event, and the discussion will be moderated by David Isaac, Provost of Worcester College.
