Chris Demaske, Ph.D., is a professor in culture, arts and communication, which is a division of the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington-Tacoma. Her earlier research focused on First Amendment law and how it relates to speech rights of marginalized groups by drawing on communication studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, history, political theory and legal theory. Her current research uses those same frameworks while also drawing upon the social justice theory, hate speech restriction and free speech in a global context. She has written two books, Free Speech and Hate Speech in the United States: The Limits of Toleration and Modern Power and Free Speech: Contemporary Culture and Issues of Equality.
