Symposium: Perspectives on Academic Freedom - hosted by the Department of History, Harvard University - HUID CARD HOLDERS ONLY

We are grateful to the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs for their sponsorship of this event.

In 2019, alarmed by attacks on academic freedom happening simultaneously in several parts of the world (Brazil, India, Turkey, and the USA, among others), a group of faculty in the History Department decided to organize a year-long seminar series to discuss the role of academics in an age of advancing authoritarianism. The pandemic derailed our plans. The crises of the past few months have given us a new sense of urgency. How can the university remain a place of unfettered critical inquiry and expression when its mission is overtly challenged by corporate and governing interests?
