Cardiff Regional Speakeasy

We are kicking off 2023 with a new series of Regional Speakeasies around the UK. Each event will be addressed by a senior member of Free Speech Union staff to discuss Why Free Speech is Worth Fighting For. It’s your chance to find out why the individuals involved in FSU are so passionate about defending free speech and how our work is developing across many different fronts, from case work to campaigns, legislation to original research. It is also an opportunity for us to thank members in person for their continued support, to meet new members, introduce others to the work that we do and encourage them to join us.

Speaker: Dr Bryn Harris, FSU Chief Legal Counsel

Bryn has worked as chief legal counsel of the Free Speech Union since 2020. He was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2018, and before that he completed a doctorate in classics at the University of Oxford. In a previous life he was a linguist and has worked as a translator and lexicographer. Bryn’s main interests are in law, philosophy and literature, and he has a particular interest in the law and practice surrounding academic freedom of speech.

There will, of course, be plenty of time for discussion and for socialising with fellow free speech supporters.
