OSUN's Global Observatory on Academic Freedom is proud to announce its first public event, gathering distinguished scholars to debate the key issues that have inspired us to create the Observatory.
Academic Freedom, as an empiric and an intellectual concept, is facing new challenges in all corners of the world and Europe, the West and the East, the Global North as much as the Global South. What is our modern day understanding of academic freedom and how can we, as an academic community, respond?
