A must-read collection on contemporary threats to academic freedom.
Academic freedom may be threatened like never before. Yet confusion
endures about what professors have a defensible right to say or
publish, particularly in extramural forums like social media. At
least one source of the confusion in the United States is the way
in which academic freedom is often intertwined with a
constitutional freedom of speech. Though related, the freedoms are
distinct. In Challenges to Academic Freedom, Joseph C. Hermanowicz
argues that, contrary to many historical views, academic freedom is
not static. Rather, we may view academic freedom as a set of
relational practices that change over time and place. Bringing
together scholars from a wide range of fields, this volume examines
the current conditions, as well as recent developments, of academic
freedom in the United States. * the sources of recurring threat to
academic freedom; * administrative interference and overreach; *
the effects of administrative law on academic work, carried out
under the auspices of Title IX legislation, diversity and inclusion
offices, research misconduct tribunals, and institutional review
boards; * the tenuous tie between academic freedom and the law, and
what to do about it; * the highly contested arena of extramural
speech and social media; and * academic freedom in a contingent
academy. Adopting varied epistemological bases to engage their
subject matter, the contributors demonstrate perspectives that are,
by turn, case study analyses, historical, legal-analytic,
formal-empirical, and policy oriented. Traversing such conceptual
range, Challenges to Academic Freedom demonstrates the imperative
of academic freedom to producing outstanding scholarly work amid
the concept's entanglements in the twenty-first century.
