Professor Ghassan Hage in Conversation on Academic Freedom (23 June)
Where do the limits on academic freedom begin and end? Who defines this and how?
On Monday 23rd June at 5.30pm (Theatre D- Old Arts) Future Generation Professor of Anthropology and Social Theory Ghassan Hage will speak at the inaugural Traffic seminar on the subject of academic freedom.
Traffic is a refereed interdisciplinary postgraduate journal published by the University of Melbourne Postgraduate Association (UMPA), now approaching its tenth edition. The journal aims to showcase the best of Melbourne University's postgraduate community research, and to provide a forum for postgraduates to present their work in an engaging and interesting style to a broader audience beyond their departmental peers. Through publishing a diverse range of postgraduate research, Traffic seeks to facilitate a sense of cohesiveness in the postgraduate community and to counter its fragmentation.
The journal is refereed (using a double "blind" peer review process), so it counts for valuable "publication points" when applying for jobs, scholarships or grants. It is also licensed by Gale Cengage databases, meaning that scholars worldwide can access and cite articles published in Traffic.
