Join us for a pop-up conversation on
academic freedom at home and abroad

How is academic freedom defined in the U.S.? What kinds of research in the U.S. is facing academic freedom challenges? What does academic freedom look like in other countries? How do U.S. scholars deal with lack of access to sources due to constraints on academic freedom in countries where they conduct research?  Humanities professors will share their experience and perspectives on these questions.
