Creating ‘Safe Enough Spaces’ on College Campuses

Description:

While the concept of “safe spaces” for learning on college campuses has been mocked for coddling and infantilizing students, Wesleyan University president Michael Roth says protecting students from harassment and intimidation doesn’t mean shielding them from uncomfortable or confrontational ideas. He argues for “safe enough spaces.” His new book, subtitled “A Pragmatist’s Approach to Inclusion, Free Speech, and Political Correctness on College Campuses” proposes creating environments where students feel heard and accepted, but also can participate in debates that challenge their beliefs.
