The State of Things w/Frank Stasio
WUNC-FM
Overcoming Offensive Language
Thursday, August 26 2010
When radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger unleashed a racial epithet on her program earlier this month, her language made headlines. Whether it’s the “n-word” or the “f-bomb,” people know how to offend each other verbally. Still, we’re fiercely protective of our right to freedom of speech. So, how should we approach healing from the words that wound? Host Frank Stasio explores ways to overcome offensive language with a panel of scholars: Michael Newcity, deputy Director of the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies at Duke University; Professor of African and African-American Studies Mark Anthony Neal of Duke University; and Neal Lester, Dean to The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University; and Sarah Cervenak, Assistant Professor, Women & Gender Studies, UNCG
