The Right to Think Otherwise

From: Academic Freedom in Conflict

$2.70

Mark Gabbert addresses the same issues, starting from a concern that “a too one-sided emphasis on professional norms risks having the effect of producing not critical minds but . . . well, normal academics.” He critically examines different perspectives and also ends with a discussion of the Churchill case to highlight the key issues he sees it raising with respect to academic freedom and disciplinary norms.
