DESCRIPTION:THURSDAY, MARCH 9                   BESHARA DOUMANI, JUDITH BUTLER, JOEL 
 BEININ, and KATHLEEN FRYDL look at ACADEMIC FREEDOM AFTER 9/11. Cal 
 professor of Middle Eastern history and social and cultural history Beshara 
 Doumani analyzes the historical significance of the post-9/11 threats to 
 academic freedom; Judith Butler, professor of rhetoric and comparative 
 literature at Cal,  considers what visions of academic freedom one can 
 defend and the best strategies for doing so; Kathleen Frydl, professor of 
 history at Cal, studies the loyalty oath and free speech controversies at 
 Cal; and Stanford professor of history Joel Beinin considers the policing 
 of thought in the academy when it comes to the Middle East. ACADEMIC 
 FREEDOM AFTER SEPTEMBER 11 brings together some of the nation’s leading 
 scholars to analyze these new challenges, including the rise of conflicting 
 interpretations of what constitutes academic freedom. Government agencies 
 and private advocacy groups have been subjecting institutions of higher 
 learning to an increasing level of surveillance, intervention, and control. 
  Shared governance and knowledge in service of the public good are giving 
 way to market forces and endless intervention by politicians, corporations 
 and powerful donors, all of which shape the intellectual discourse within 
 our institutions of higher education, and all of which deepen our 
 understanding of what is at stake. Come for an evening on the philosophical 
 foundations, institutional practices, and political dimensions of academic 
 freedom. 7:30 PM at Cody's Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley\n
