- Description
- Professor Janz challenges the "pieties" often associated with academic freedom, moving beyond the legal definitions found in the South African Constitution. He introduces the concept of "free space" as a necessary condition for genuine intellectual growth and "epistemic justice." The lecture explores how internal institutional cultures, social identities, and power dynamics can create "little murders of the soul" that stifle inquiry even when formal academic freedom is protected by law.
