Activism and the Struggle for Academic Freedom
Open to Everyone
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) invites you to join moderator Isaac Kamola, editor Melanie S. Tanielian and contributors Marjorie Heins and Henry Reichman to discuss the release of “In the Spirit of H. Chandler Davis: Activism and the Struggle for Academic Freedom.”
Inspired by Chandler Davis’ courage, integrity, and devotion to the struggle against oppression, injustice, and the persecution of speech, the twelve contributors to this book offer crucial insights into the importance of defending intellectual independence, institutional autonomy, and the right to free expression, and the importance of facing, and not accepting, authoritarian threats.
