"Warning Signs: Authoritarian Constraints on Scientific Inquiry in the Recent Past." https://items.ssrc.org/insights/warning-signs-authoritarian-constraints-on-scientific-inquiry-in-the-recent-past/ "What can we learn of political interference in the domain of intellectual freedom, and how have academics attempted to cope with such assaults from past authoritarian regimes? What patterns and intricate trends can we highlight, so that if they return today, they can possibly be spotted, re-examined, and placed on our “warning” screens. Not that they will be replicated, and manifested, exactly as they had in the past, but related attempts might lead to similar problems for intellectuals and the public seeking to maintain civic debate, scientific inquiry, and public culture." #Censorship #DefendResearch #Trump #TrumpVResearch #USPol #USPolitics
