Please join us on October 2nd at 3pm at Hillman Library (K. Leroy Irvis Room, Ground Floor) for the opening of the photo exhibition "Standing for Freedom: Portraits of Scientists in Exile". Meet the creator Professor Pascale Laborier and hear her talk about the project. The talk will explore both the conception of the exhibition and the broader context of academic exile: how the loss of academic freedom often signals democratic decline, and how hosting programs both preserve individual academic lives and sustain intellectual traditions under threat. Attendees will discover the photographic approach used in the exhibition, where each subject was invited to select personal and symbolic objects representing their home, host country, and research, lending depth and transparency to their stories. The presentation will reflect on the intersections of research, art, and advocacy in representing and supporting scholars at risk, underscoring the ongoing importance of international solidarity for academic freedom.
