Academic freedom is widely perceived to be under increasing threat in America, more so than at any time since the McCarthy period in the Fifties. This is the first of two symposia funded by the Ford Foundation this year which gathers eminent scholars to talk about their experiences, to analyze the problem, and to offer possible solutions.

Featuring Jonathan Cole, John Mearsheimer, Peter Novick, Robert Post, and Joan Scott
