Join Endangered Scholars Worldwide and Scholars at Risk on December 3rd, at The New School for a discussion of China’s higher education system, its goals and difficulties. The discussion, “Academic Freedom, Free Expression, and China’s Quest for World-Class Universities” will reflect on the government’s aspirations for their higher education system and the difficulty of reconciling these goals in the context of limitations on academic inquiry.

This panel will feature human rights lawyer and visiting scholar at NYU’s School of Law, Teng Biao.  Professor Teng, now exiled in the United States after being jailed as a dissenter for a time in China. He will be joined by Jewher Ilham.  Ms. Ilham is an author and activist on behalf of her father, jailed academic Ilham Tohti.  Ilham’s father is currently serving a life sentence in China.   Also on the panel is Carl Minzner, Professor of Law at Fordham University, and Jerome Cohen, director of the US-Asia Law Institute at NYU’s School of Law.
