NIAS Book Series: Studies on Academic Freedom and Epistemic Diversity
Institutes for Advanced Study occupy a unique place in academia. By bringing together world-class scholars and fostering disciplinary, epistemological and cultural diversity, they create fertile ground for new comparative perspectives and intellectual cross-pollination. The combination of scholarly excellence, freedom from institutional constraints and the space to explore new directions makes these institutes ideal environments for reflecting on science and society, and for engaging fundamental questions about academic freedom, epistemic diversity and the science system.
With this series of monographs and edited volumes, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS-KNAW) presents insights from its fellows, alumni and partners, highlighting the structural challenges facing scholars, disciplines and institutions amid political, policy-related, economic and societal pressures. The series aims to stimulate debate about where academia stands today, where it is heading, and what is needed to shape its future.
