Eva Illouz illuminates the current conflicts surrounding freedom of expression and moral sensitivity. To this end, she examines two competing models of free speech: one that defends free speech as a central democratic principle, and one that emphasizes protection from harm and exclusion. She asks how liberal societies cope with these tensions and what this means for public debates and our coexistence.

Prof. Dr. Eva Illouz researches and teaches at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on emotions, capitalism, culture, communication, and the cultural aspects of their intersections. In 2018, she was awarded the EMET Prize for Sociology.
