Introducing APA mini series: Professional Rights and Academic Freedom
Briefly

The APA Mini-Series Blog, initiated by the APA Committee on Professional Rights and Academic Freedom, seeks to enhance discussions surrounding professional rights and academic freedom for philosophers. In response to recent challenges, the blog features inaugural posts from a panel at the Eastern Division Meeting, addressing the role of philosophy in understanding faculty speech and protecting academic freedom. Contributors discuss historical perspectives on academic freedom, the need for trust in educational settings, and the ongoing threats posed by authoritarianism, emphasizing philosophy's relevance in these discussions.

"Trust and candor in the classroom are pivotal for creating an environment where academic freedom can truly thrive, allowing both students and faculty to engage in meaningful exchanges."
