Swarthmore AAUP

Invites you

World Cafe on Academic Freedom

Wednesday, November 19, 2025
4:15 – 5:45
Scheuer Room

Colleagues, the Swarthmore Chapter of AAUP is delighted to invite you to the first of a year-long series of events dedicated to study and discussion of the possibilities and limits of Academic Freedom in our current national and global context.

The format for this first event will use the World Cafe method (for more see here) that focuses on creating an environment focused on rounds of small group discussion and “harvesting” the insights that come from the small group discussion.

Refreshments provided by the Office of the President
We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Edwin, Bruce and Paloma (Swat AAUP Pres, VP and Secretary)
