Скачать или смотреть Global Dialogues Series: Scholar Rescue at Stanford

Each year, thousands of scholars face threats to their lives and careers because of their research, activism, or identities. Since 2002, Stanford has worked with the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF) to host threatened and displaced scholars from around the globe. Today, the need for an institutionalized program at Stanford to support at-risk scholars is greater than ever as scholars from around the world continue to confront threats that are unprecedented both in scale and complexity.

This webinar will look at the fight for freedom of speech in contexts around the globe and the individuals who have risked everything to stand up against authoritarianism and advocate for human rights. Panelists will discuss some of the threats facing scholars today and the ongoing efforts, at Stanford and elsewhere, to support endangered scholars and protect academic freedom.

Speakers: James King, Nicholas Opiyo, and Halil Ibrahim Yenigun

This webinar is the first in Stanford Global Studies' inaugural Global Dialogues Series: Crises, Connections, Concepts.
