Debate Culture and Political Engagement on Campus | by invitation only

Volkswagen Foundation

Falling Walls Circle - Executive Table: This exclusive discussion focuses on the current debate surrounding political engagement that's appropriate on campus.

This discussion focuses on the current debate surrounding political engagement that's appropriate on campus. We will ask whether academic institutions should maintain political neutrality or should actively participate in political discourse. We look at key points such as the preservation of academic freedom, the universities’ role in fostering critical thinking and civic engagement, and the essential question how political a university in a democratic society can and must be.
