At this Forum on “Ethnic Studies, Academic Freedom and the Value of Scholarship” distinguished UA faculty offer presentations about ethnic studies research, scholarship, and pedagogies, as well as the concepts of intellectual and academic freedom. In keeping with the University of Arizona’s responsibilities as a land-grant university, this event provides an opportunity for the university to take a public role in educating our community about contemporary issues. Further, this forum reaffirms the commitment of the UA to academic freedom and the excellent scholarship and teaching in Ethnic Studies that we feature here.
