‘Academic Freedom in the 21st Century’

Chair: Mark Stephens, Chair of UEL Governors, libel lawyer and trustee of Index on Censorship

Wherever there is a dictatorship or totalitarian regime, its first quarrel is with those who oppose. They are often found in universities, places where teaching and research should flourish. Around the world, university lecturers and researchers can face persecution, imprisonment and torture for challenging those in power.

Mr B, Mr K and Miss S will discuss the personal threats and difficulties in carrying out their academic work in Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe (anonymised for reasons of security).

All welcome, admission FREE. Light refreshments available.
