‘Without free speech there is no true thought.’


–Jordan Peterson


‘If you’re white, this country is one giant safe space.’


–Michael Eric Dyson


The Munk debate on political correctness


Is political correctness an enemy of free speech, sparking needless conflict? Or is it a weapon in the fight for equality, restoring dignity to the downtrodden? How should we talk about the things that matter most in an era of rapid social change? Four thinkers take on one of the most heated debates in the culture wars of the twenty-first century.

Jordan B. Peterson

Jordan B. Peterson, raised in the frigid wastelands of Northern Alberta, has flown a hammer-head roll in a carbon-fiber stunt-plane, built a Native American longhouse in his Toronto home, and been inducted into the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka'wakw tribe.

He's taught mythology to lawyers, doctors and business people, consulted for the UN Secretary General, helped his clinical clients manage depression and anxiety, and lectured extensively in North America and Europe. With his students and colleagues at Harvard and the University of Toronto, Dr. Peterson has published over a hundred scientific papers, transforming the modern understanding of personality, and his book Maps of Meaning revolutionized the psychology of religion.

Now a tenured professor at the University of Toronto, where he is regarded by his students as one of three truly life-changing teachers, he was also nominated for Harvard's prestigious Levinson Teaching Prize.
