  • Peter Boghossian
    Dr Peter Boghossian is a freelance philosopher and former academic. He was jointly responsible for the 'Sokal squared' hoax, as a result of which he was investigated by his then-employer, Portland State University, for research misconduct. He later left the university and now travels the world engaging bystanders in 'street epistemology' - open, reasonable conversations on a range of topics. We talked to him about whether there are moral facts, what people think about in prison, whether universities should get state funding, and how to create a post-university educational and intellectual world. The 'Sokal squared' hoax: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/new-sokal-hoax/572212/'Street epistemology' on Peter's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYNjnJFU-62t25_8aD9loEqZL9J4p-82p

Here to discuss VUW's policy with us is Steph Martin from the Free Speech Union. We also discuss Steph's work to help protect New Zealanders' speech rights on a variety of fronts.
