Universities and colleges have been among the most tolerant locations for critical debates and discourse. That is in the process of changing rapidly – without the phenomenon having attracted attention in Norway:
On US campuses, the tolerance for freedom of expression is being reduced and censorship of reading lists and lecturers is spreading in the wake of numerous student campaigns. In Turkey, thousands of university employees were fired after the attempted coup in July. The University of Cape Town in South Africa recently cancelled an invitation to Flemming Rose to deliver a keynote address because they thought it would be “provocative”. In Europe, the demand for “trigger warnings” in respect of art and syllabus literature is gaining momentum.
We warmly invite mid-career journalists with over three years experience to apply for the series of workshops on “Reporting skills in the digital era” organised by the professional development programme ‘Perspektivy’.
