Academic Freedom Aotearoa.

Academic Freedom Aotearoa is a ‘watchdog’ and advocacy group. We:

✓
Investigate cases where academic freedom has been curtailed or breached.
✓
Comment on government and institutional policies, statements, or processes which curtail OR enhance the practice of academic freedom;
✓
Promote debate about academic freedom through this website which is peer reviewed; and,
✓
From time to time put out publications, and run speaking tours, events, or conferences in order to advance academic freedom in Aotearoa New Zealand.
✓
Academic Freedom Aotearoa is for the staff and students of tertiary institutions in Aotearoa New Zealand that have the legal responsibility to serve as critic and conscience of society. Anyone with an interest in academic freedom is welcome here. We are volunteers who work together to protect and promote academic freedom.
