>> *Unpacking Academic Freedom: Nation State Formation in Turkey and India*
>>
>> The recent brutal attacks on academics in India and Turkey highlight 
>> the connections between nationalism and the role of academia. These 
>> events show that the so-called privileged spaces of academia, when 
>> they confront the myths of nation states, can become targets of 
>> oppressive political regimes. Focusing on the limits and 
>> possibilities of academic freedom this panel will explore the 
>> questions of ethnicity, caste and nationality in Turkey and India. 
>> This event seeks to explore transnational solidarities against global 
>> repression of dissent.
