Framed in the context of a world in which academic freedom is often
jeopardized, or criticized by outside social forces, Academic
Freedom: Autonomy, Challenges and Conformation sets out to echo the
voices of faculty who have encountered challenges to academic
freedom within their personal and professional careers. Including
chapters which range from showcasing specific experiences within
particular disciplines, to providing broad historical or
philosophical perspectives, this edited collection provides an
authentic account of how academic freedom has helped and hindered
the academic profession, scholarship, and teaching. Revealing
one-on-one interactions which shed light on the views of individual
educators, this book shifts focus onto the day-to-day ramifications
of limited academic freedom. Faculty members recollect occasions
where they have experienced a challenge to their ability to
exchange ideas and concepts freely in the classroom, to explore and
disseminate new knowledge, and to speak professionally and
privately on topics in their field of expertise without being under
duress. Offering up a finely curated collection of chapters,
editors Ceglie and Thompson allow readers to understand the dynamic
between academic freedom and professional responsibilities, and
also open up an opportunity to discuss challenges to academic
freedom and the potential loss of autonomy in higher education in
the United States and beyond.
