SUMMARY:A Global Illiberal Shift? Democracy\, Universities & Politics Today
 : A Moderated Discussion
DESCRIPTION:According to the Academic Freedom Index (Update 2026)\, over th
 e past ten years\, academic freedom has declined in fifty countries\, whil
 e only nine countries have recorded improvements. Across all dimensions of
  academic freedom\, more countries are experiencing declines than improvem
 ents. \n\nThis moderated discussion brings together students and researche
 rs from different countries to reflect on their personal experiences of ac
 ademic freedom and the growing pressures that universities around the worl
 d are facing. Are we witnessing a broader global illiberal shift\, and how
  is it affecting higher education? \n\nThe discussion will also explore th
 e impact that growing political polarization has on universities\, and the
  challenges of maintaining spaces for open debate and dialogue across poli
 tical divides. What role can universities play in protecting academic free
 dom\, fostering intellectual diversity\, and maintaining spaces for critic
 al debate and democratic exchange? \n\nThe moderated discussion will be he
 ld in English.
