VENUE CHANGE: Thursday's event with United Nations Special Rapporteur Balakrishnan Rajagopal has moved to the SSRB Tea Room.

At universities across America and worldwide, research, teaching, learning, and campus speech are under attack. As academic communities consider their options, how can human rights law help? How would a human rights approach to academic freedom differ from the US status quo?

Rajagopal, who first took up these questions in the early 2000s in response to post-9/11 paranoia and its effect on university life, will be in conversation with Pozen Visiting Professor Julia Hall.
