Keynote Lecture

Zoom & EUI Theatre (Badia)

Research on certain issues and under certain regimes continues to expose scholars to great risk, ranging from imprisonment and restrictions on movement to loss of position and expulsion from university. Scholars are often directly or indirectly silenced by such threats.

We invite Researchers, Faculty members, and especially Scholars whose research agendas are related to issues and/or contexts that may put researchers at risk to join this hybrid keynote lecture, that will be held both in the EUI Theatre (Badia) and on Online (Zoom).

Speakers: 

  • Ester Gallo (Coordinator of SARs Italy and Associate Professor at the University of Trento) 
  • Jane Unrue (Director of Scholars at Risk, Harvard University) 

Chair: Simon Hix (Stein Rokkan Chair in Comparative Politics at the EUI) 

This panel will focus on institutional approaches that exist in Europe and the USA to assist at-risks scholars. Panelists will discuss related, institutional, challenges and underline strategies that have been adopted to overcome these. Attention will be placed on dimensions that need to be further considered, in light of contemporary developments around the world.
