The Academic Freedom Podcast is Back!
The podcast relaunches with a conversation with Cary Nelson
After a bit of a hiatus, The Academic Freedom Podcast is back and will hopefully release on a more regular schedule in coming months. It is still sponsored by the Academic Freedom Alliance and can be found on the same feed and at the same webpage. However, it is also now co-sponsored by the new Center for Academic Freedom and Free Speech at Yale Law School and the episodes can also be found there.
The description of the new episode:
The AFA's Keith Whittington interviews Cary Nelson, the Jubiliee Professor of Liberal Arts & Sciences Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He served for many years in the leadership of the American Association of University Professors, including terms at its president from 2006 to 2012. He is currently chair of a new organization, the Alliance for Academic Freedom (not to be confused with the Academic Freedom Alliance). In addition to his work on American poetry, he is the author of several books on higher education, including Manifesto of a Tenured Radical from 1997 and No University is an Island from 2010. His latest book is the just published Hate Speech and Academic Freedom: The Antisemitic Assault on Basic Principles.
