Academic Freedom Under Threat: Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

Table of Contents

ACAF is excited to join NORRAG for a timely conversation on academic freedom, a principle that lies at the heart of quality education, critical thinking and open societies.

As scholars, educators and students across the globe face growing restrictions and threats, from ideological polarisation to political pressure, it is crucial that we stand together to protect the right to teach, learn and research freely.

Join us as we explore how institutions can respond to these challenges and learn more about NORRAG’s Academic Freedom Fellows Initiative, a new platform for critical research and dialogue, building on regional fellowships, spanning Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
