Announcing October 15 Talk / Elliot Sperling: Liberal Principles & Autocratic Regimes


LIBERAL PRINCIPLES AND AUTOCRATIC REGIMES:

What is the Student / Academic / Institution to Do?

 

 

Professor Elliot Sperling

Wednesday, October 15

5:00 P.M., IMU University Club (Faculty Room)

 

Faced with working in or dealing with autocratic environments, academics and institutions are often faced with unexpected and unsought ethical dilemmas that oppose practical concerns about operating in a given country or region with a commitment to academic freedom, basic human rights and free speech. This talk will present some considerations on what shape principled responses to such a situation might take.
