Big Questions in the Classroom and Academic Freedom

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

This session will explore the balance and tension between the teacher’s freedom to pursue truth, develop views, and discuss the “Big Questions” in the classroom, and the University’s freedom to promote a confessional environment, an aspect of academic freedom that is often overlooked. Nicholas Miller will lead a dialogue with representatives from theology and religion, the sciences and the humanities, which will include a discussion of statements of belief and their possible role in the academy.
