What can we learn from past moments when universities, students and intellectuals, have been central to the struggle against authoritarian repression? What long-term and short-term strategies (from litigation to mass mobilizations to cultural resistance) have been developed, alongside or in conjunction with other social movements and institutions? How did they sustain effective resistance activity and adapt to changing policies and practices of repression? Do present historical circumstances demand different tactics and strategies (e.g., the fact of social media and AI, or the nature of the neoliberal university)? Focusing on the university as a key locus of authoritarian and anti-authoritarian struggles, this AAUP event will consider the university as a target of repression and as a possible engine of resistance.
