To Tell the Truth? Self-Censorship and Public Discourse

Speaker: Glenn Loury

Glenn Loury, the Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences at Brown University, has long been one of America’s most provocative thinkers on race, economics, and public life. In this lecture, he will explore the social and psychological forces that shape what we dare—or hesitate—to say in public, drawing on his new book, Self-Censorship. Loury, host of The Glenn Show, will discuss how social pressures and cultural norms can lead individuals to silence themselves on politically sensitive topics, limiting public debate and shaping contemporary discourse.

The event will invite audiences to reflect on the challenges of speaking truthfully in today’s society and the courage required to engage honestly and meaningfully in public life.
