Social Media Storytellers: On Academic Freedom is an exciting new project in the School of Humanities that funds undergraduate students to research and produce multi-media work on the topic of academic freedom. Funded by a VOICE grant from the UC National Center for Free Speech, Academic Freedom fellows work in a small cohort alongside professors, campus communications professionals, and distinguished alumni.
Social Media Storytellers began with a simple question: What is academic freedom, and why is it important for undergraduate students?
Over two quarters, twelve UCI humanities fellows explored that question through seminars, readings, interviews, research, and original media projects, working alongside faculty, staff, and alumni from across the School of Humanities.
