Description
Academic institutions are meant to provide a space within which differing ideas and views can be openly and freely discussed. However, academia has become unwelcoming towards certain ideologies, research findings that deviate from existing paradigms, and right-of-center political viewpoints. Neuroscience PhD candidate Zack Sluzala interviews students, faculty, researchers, and others to discuss issues within academia and education that prevent free speech and thought from flourishing.
