READ ABSTRACT

 

Organised in collaboration with our Working Group on Academic Freedom.

Delivered by a diverse group of scholars, this roundtable seeks to facilitate a broader discussion on the rising concern affecting academic freedom in various contexts – from the war in Ukraine as the main contemporary global event, and beyond.

About the event

Join us in discussing the following issues:
  • Growing divisiveness in discussions on political opinions, gender, religion, and ethnicity
  • Threat to and displacement of Ukrainian scholars as a result of the war
  • Political and ideological bias affecting academic debates on the war
FREE and open to all

For the very first time, we are thrilled to be opening the House Series to the broader ECPR community as part of our General Conference programme. 

*In-person participation at the University of Innsbruck is available only to scholars attending in-person Panels at the ECPR General Conference. 

Attending the General Conference?

You don't need to register separately – the roundtable will be automatically added to your General Conference Itinerary.

About the House Series

The House Series is open to both ECPR Member and Non-Member affiliates. 

Harbour House, our HQ in the UK, is a literal and metaphorical ‘home’ for the ECPR community.

The Series is designed to provide platforms and spaces for discourse, reaching out beyond academe and shining a light on the work of our discipline.

Each talk seeks to open doors to some of the most pressing issues across the discipline, and is followed by an extended Q&A session.
