One year ago this week, “The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure” was published.

On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we sit down with FIRE President & CEO Greg Lukianoff, who co-authored the book with Jonathan Haidt, to reflect on what’s changed — or hasn’t changed — in the intervening year.

Show notes:

• TheCoddling.com
• “College suggests students respond to ‘offensive’ language with ‘ouch!’”
• Media coverage of Greg’s talk in Italy (in Italian)
• “Five ways university presidents can prove their commitment to free speech” by Greg Lukianoff
