DESCRIPTION:This seminar will bring global perspectives and experiences of
  academic freedom into dialogue.  We will take a spectrum\, experiential a
 pproach to academic freedom\, one that considers the context and positiona
 lity of the scholar as key to the exercise of academic freedom.  This is i
 n contrast to the binary ‘have versus have-not approach’ that is commo
 n in Western academic debates (Jackson 2024).  We will hear from scholars 
 with diverse experiences of academic freedom\, as well as about the proble
 matics caused by remedies to violations of this right\, which may be well-
 intentioned but are caught in structures such as the neoliberalisation of 
 the university that perpetuate limitations to academic freedom (Özdemir\,
  Mutluer & Özyürek 2019).\n\nSpeakers\n* Wesam Amer (CARA/SRF (Council f
 or At-Risk Academics/Scholar Rescue Fund) Fellow\, University of Cambridge
 )\n* Caroline Johnston (Mellon Research Fellow in American History\, Unive
 rsity of Cambridge)\n* Esra Özyürek (Faculty of Divinity\, University of
  Cambridge)\n\nModerated by Ella McPherson\, Department of Sociology\, Uni
 versity of Cambridge.\n\n"Register for this event":https://luma.com/2tpatk
