Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The principle of free speech appears in courses across our discipline. From introductory classes in American government or comparative politics to upper-level seminars in public law or political philosophy, the questions include: Does open debate educate and ennoble the public or just allow people to mislead and attack others? When should the authorities limit expression? Are there some ideas or words that are just too repugnant to allow? Is counter-speech an effective response to insulting expressions? Does the forum (newspaper, street corner, the internet) make a difference? Both of us have examined such questions in our courses many times, and it was after one of us emerged from a particularly lively discussion of them during a seminar on John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty that we decided to see what would happen if we moved from abstract class discussions to an actual experiment in free speech outside the classroom that involved the entire campus community. The desire was to illuminate the more abstract class discussions and involved the broader campus community. In the end we settled on a low tech and highly public format for the experiment. A blank chalkboard, in a high-trafficked area of campus, served as the means for our experiment in expression. In this presentation we offer a discussion of the experiment (the particular procedures, rules, etc.), our expectations and results, and we conclude with some preliminary thoughts about future experiments and application of this exercise.
