The New University in Exile Consortium is proud to present “The Suppression of Academic Voices,” featuring Judith Butler, Michael Ignatieff, Steven Pinker, and Kenneth Roth, with an introduction by The New School’s President, Donna E. Shalala.
On July 23, 2023, esteemed Azerbaijani economist and member of the Consortium, Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, was unjustly arrested during a visit to Baku. He has been kept in detention under extremely difficult conditions ever since. This webinar is meant to call attention to this great injustice and press for Dr. Ibadoghlu’s immediate release, as well as to call attention to the many other scholars and human rights activists currently imprisoned around the world.
This is event marks the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is the culmination of a month-long advocacy campaign to free Dr. Ibadoghlu. Please join us and, by doing so, show your solidarity with Dr. Ibadoghlu and all the unjustly imprisoned scholars and activists who badly need our support.
