Remove "forced" padding-left for a list?

I have a <ul> just after the header in a section called:

<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">

There seems to be a forced 40px left padding. How can this be removed? I thought that this would help:

ul.speakerclass {
    padding: 0;
}

But no joy...

Here's my CSS:

ul.speakerclass > li {
    display: inline-block;
    /* You can also add some margins here to make it look prettier */
    width:180px;
    zoom:1;
    *display:inline;
    /* this fix is needed for IE7- */
}

ul.speakerclass {
    padding: 0;
}

.speakercard {
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  max-width: 180px;
  margin: auto;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 14px;
}

button.speakerclass {
  border: none;
  outline: 0;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 10px;
  color: white;
  background-color: #393939;
  text-align: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  width: 100%;
}

a.speakerclass {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: black;
}

button.speakerclass:hover, a:hover {
  opacity: 0.7;
}

.speaker-box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border:1px solid #ccc;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

.speaker-pic {
  display: inline;
  margin: 0 auto;
  height: 100%;
  width: auto;
}

I even tried the !important tag but still there seems to be padding....

Thanks!
