The rapidly changing landscape of American higher education presents new challenges for the ideal of academic freedom. The first Annual Conference in Academic Freedom sponsored by the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom brings professors from across the country, with diverse perspectives, to campus to explore questions such as:

  • What is the proper scope of academic freedom?
  • How does academic freedom relate to the democratic ideal of free expression in general?
  • What special responsibilities do public universities have towards their students, faculty, and the broader citizenry?

All talks will be followed by a Q&A to facilitate critical engagement and discussion. Students, faculty, administrators, and the general public are welcome to attend.

Support for this workshop is provided by the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom.
