Free the Inquiry
A Substack blog
Fresh news, smart commentary, original research, and expert analysis from Team HxA.
The team at Heterodox Academy advocates for three things in higher ed: open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement. Our motto, “Great minds don’t always think alike,” captures what we work on every day: moving the academy in the direction of allowing and indeed encouraging great minds to go wherever solid evidence and thoughtful reasoning take them.
Our Substack newsletter, Free the Inquiry, is our way of keeping you up-to-date on what’s happening in our mission’s field. We bring you fresh news, smart commentary, original research, and expert analysis from our crack staff to keep you informed.
From September 2015 - May 2024 the HxA Blog published articles by members. As of August 2024, the blog is hosted on Substack and written by Team HxA. All Substack articles are cross-posted here.
