Academic Freedom

How does academic freedom intersect with freedom from discrimination in Canadian higher education? This panel presents the preliminary analytical explorations from our project which investigates the debates around academic freedom and free speech in Canadian academic institutions in relation to specific faculty and student experiences of discrimination. The three presentations are our early forays into the harms of language of both intramural and extramural speech and the implications of legislation that seeks to regulate speech.
