Allegra cofounder and editor @juliebillaud.bsky.social speaks with @danjgraham.bsky.social at the Geneva Graduate Institute on the need to boldly defend academic freedom in contexts of intensifying authoritarianism and censorship.
#AcademicFreedom is the right to say everything but not anything. It is based on the rejection of bullshit. It only exists when it is actively practiced in the everyday. Refusing bullshit and telling the truth is practicing academic freedom.
#Academicfreedom is under threat. Why does it matter, and how can we protect it?
