  Academic Freedom in a Global Context: Challenges and Perspectives

  Transtext(e)s Transcultures: Journal of Global Cultural Studies

  Academic freedom here is understood as the freedom to produce and share knowledge free from political, economic, or social hindrance so as to shed light on complex situations or issues. Academic freedom refers specifically to members of research and education institutions who seek to create knowledge “for its own sake” (Butler, 2017), rather than for industrial or commercial interests. Therefore, it is distinct from freedom of speech or other basic human rights as it is not an inherent entitlement of each human being, but rather a freedom attached to a specific community of people whose duty is to further develop knowledge in several areas. In that sense, academic freedom has a collective dimension but is exercised by a “community of the competent” (Haskell, 1996) who ensure that science is not politicised. This special issue of Transtext(es) Transcultures seeks to document and analyse the alarming rise in, and the diversification of, threats to academic freedom in the twenty-first century across the globe.
