(Where) Does Activism Fit in University Life?

In the most recent issue of inquisitive, HxA’s quarterly periodical, the University of Chicago’s Tom Ginsburg addresses “undisciplined disciplines” – departments and academic fields that have left the realm of scholarship to take up activist causes – while the University of Wyoming’s Martha McCaughey proposes a way to do scholarship with a sense of purpose without giving up on academic credibility, as activism may. Join us as HxA’s Managing Editor and Senior Scholar Alice Dreger (author of Galileo’s Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and One Scholar’s Search for Justice) talks with Ginsburg and McCaughey about the place of activism and advocacy in university life, particularly in light of increasing external political pressures. Register and join the Q&A.
