Název v původním jazyce

Expert Round Table at the AAU: Academic Freedom, Gender and Democracy

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Institute of International Relations in cooperation with the Anglo-American University organized a round table featuring Andrea Petó, Professor in the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University, Budapest, Hungary to discuss the role of gender studies in education and research as well as the importance of an academic freedom for the functioning of democratic societies. The discussion was led by Zuzana Fellegi, IIR Researcher who focuses on gender in her research and among the speakers was also IIR's Tamás Lattmann. In October 2018, the Hungarian government issued a decree prohibiting gender studies courses in all universities across the country. Vast national and international protests and petitions followed, coming from general public as well as the academic and professional community including numerous universities and scientific organizations. The European International Studies Association (EISA) released a statement highlighting the importance of academic freedom, and the ability of universities to set their own curricula, as fundamental to the functioning of democracy. The Political Studies Association (PSA) confirmed that gender studies form an integral part of understanding the complexities of social interaction, the impact of policy, and the dynamics of the economy. Similarly, the European Consortium for Political research (ECPR) maintains that gender studies are an internationally recognized discipline and an established multi-disciplinary area of research and teaching in the social sciences which helps to understand dynamics and power relations in our society and produces novel knowledge.
