SCRIPTS Working Paper No. 42

SCRIPTS Working Paper No. 42

Mattias Kumm

The article first describes the conditions under which issues relating to academic freedom have become a central focus of contestation. It then describes the moral point of the right to academic freedom as part of the organised practices of individual and collective self-government, contrasting it to the more limited role academic freedom tends to play in authoritarian states. The final part highlights how to think about the limits of freedom of speech by drawing out implications for some contemporary challenges.
