ECPR Roundtable #2 - The impact of the war in Ukraine on academic freedom

Academic freedom has become a global concern in all regions and
fields, involving both illiberal and democratic scholars nation.
Russia's continued aggression against Ukraine has further fueled
the debate. Scholars at Ukrainian universities are brutally
prevented from doing their jobs or forced to leave the country and
try to continue working elsewhere. Simultaneously political and
ideological bias characterizes academic debate about war,
especially in the media and social networks. Organized in
partnership with the ECPR Academic Freedom Working Group, this
roundtable aims to focus on a broader discussion of growing
concerns affecting academic freedom in a variety of contexts,
starting with the war in Ukraine. Chair: Daniela Irrera, Università
