Teach-in Towards Solidarity. Academic Freedom, Free Speech, and Campus Protests
Charles H.F. Davis III, Leila Kawar, Rebekah Modrak, Alan Wald, and Justin Mitchell

Challenges to free speech, academic freedom, and the right to engage in civil disagreement have dogged US institutions of higher education for quite some time. But attempts to censor teaching (and even on-campus discussion and protest) on matters of race, gender/sexuality, Palestine, and other "controversial" topics have reached new heights lately.
Our panelists will convene for a "lightning talk" lunchtime webinar on the history of academic freedom and protest at the University of Michigan. Their remarks will address key moments of challenge to campus speech and activism in the not-so-distant past; the culture of democratic and international activism at this university; and the rights and principles of free speech on campus.
Bring your questions!
