Debates on institutional neutrality focus on whether universities must take positions on socio-political issues. This talk highlights the organisational complexities of institutional neutrality, its alternatives, and factors that can increase or decrease its likelihood. Rather than present an argument whether universities should take socio-political positions, this talk clarifies when universities choose to be neutral, how they navigate these tensions, and what alternative responses they take on.

Registration is not required. This event is open to the public.
