Academic freedom is essential for scientific research. However, unlike freedom of expression, academic freedom is not an individual civil right but a collective and professional liberty. In other words, you cannot say anything you want because you are part of an academic community with norms and standards. But what if you disagree with those standards? What can you say about Israel and Gaza? About trans identity and refugees? And has the financial intertwinement with big companies an effect on academic freedom? During this evenening, organised by de Balie, the liberties and limits of what you can say and do at the universities of Amsterdam will be discussed.
