A law professor who cancelled a series of lectures because of “disruptive protests” has announced his talks on “freedom of expression in the sex and gender debate” will now go ahead.
Michael Foran, an associate professor at the University of Oxford, is due to discuss themes from his book Sex, Gender Identity and the Law in the coming Michaelmas term, beginning 11 October.
It comes after Foran earlier this month announced he would cancel the remainder of his lecture series at Oxford’s Faculty of Law after protesters disrupted the second of the planned talks.
Foran had been preparing to present on the topics of “gender critical and gender identity belief” and “sexual assault by deception”.
At the time, Foran called the decision “deeply lamentable”, but said the disruption had “undermined the academic nature of this series”.
