Description
Academic freedom is facing unprecedented challenges. The distinction between academic freedom and constitutional freedom of speech is often blurred, leading to confusion about what professors can and cannot say or publish. In "Challenges to Academic Freedom", Joseph C. Hermanowicz argues that academic freedom is not a fixed concept, but rather a dynamic set of relational practices that evolve over time and place. This collection brings together scholars from diverse fields to examine the current state of academic freedom in the United States. The contributors explore various threats, including administrative interference, the impact of Title IX legislation, and the complex relationship between academic freedom and the law. They also investigate the highly contested arena of extramural speech and social media, and the challenges of academic freedom in a contingent academy. Through a range of perspectives, including case studies, historical analysis, and policy-oriented approaches, the contributors shed light on the complexities of academic freedom in the modern academic landscape.
