Today, the concept of “safe space” is widely used, especially in progressive debates around social justice issues. A safe space is understood to amount to a space in which socially oppressed people can exist and express themselves safely, i.e. without being exposed, mocked, their credibility or authenticity being questioned, among other forms of aggression and injustice. This panel will discuss and question the very idea of safe spaces, raising and analysing the possibility that these spaces as such exist or if they are just a mirage.
