Please join AUNBT for the sixth installment of the Jon Thompson Lecture on Academic Freedom:
“Strengthening Academic Freedom in the Corporatized University” by Dr. James Turk, Director of the Centre for Free Expression (CFE) at Toronto Metropolitan University.
Academic freedom, vital to our ability to educate students and advance knowledge, is symbolically embraced across Canada yet becoming increasingly precarious for all academic staff.
Why? And what must we do?
