| Content | Universities in Switzerland and elsewhere have recently become focal points of public debate and controversy, raising questions about academic freedom, protest, and how knowledge is produced in contexts shaped by historical and ongoing (neo)colonial violence. This course situates some of these recent discussions in a broader historical frame, examining traditions of protest and dissent across Southern Africa, Switzerland and beyond. The course is open to students continuing from the related HS 2025 seminar as well as new participants. Further details will follow soon. |
