Whitepaper: Cancel culture

We often work with criteria that are an extension of what we call our identity, and this way create an ‘identity bubble’ which clashes with people that do not fit into this bubble. We have blind spots, things we cannot see or understand. However, we need this missing context to understand responses to situations such as cancelling. What do we do when cancelling happens based on emotions? And can we cancel people on moral grounds? Where is the line here, and who decides on that line?

This whitepaper is based on the outcomes of our virtual round table meeting on this topic. Participants to the round table included Dr. Van den Berg (University of Utrecht), Ms. Yvonne van Sark (Youngworks), Prof. dr. Lietaert Peerbolte (VU Amsterdam), Prof. dr. Boutellier (VU Amsterdam), and Prof. dr. Smalbrugge (VU Amsterdam).
