Academic freedom suggests the ability to investigate and openly discuss all topics and ideas, even those which may seem irrelevant, controversial, or even dangerous. However, academic freedom often means something quite different in practice. This collection of essays explores this discrepancy between theory and reality in a wide range of examples and analyses, including a detailed examination of the history of academic freedom, the complexities of its practice in different institutional settings, and some of challenges it currently faces.
