This symposium aims to create an open and respectful dialogue about tensions, real or perceived, between academic freedom and anti-oppression principles. Using examples of when these two principles have clashed at Canadian universities, stakeholders with divergent viewpoints will discuss the incident, analyze the broader political implications and develop strategies for responding when conflicts arise in the future.
