Reviews
'This is a powerful book by a distinguished scholar who has assembled a remarkable collection of compelling reflections on academic freedom and its relationship to the production of knowledge, and to (de-)legitimized and forbidden knowledge. Unlike Western-centric educational studies, this book uncovers many examples not only from US and UK but also from Lebanon and UAE of the violation of academic freedom that challenge us all to think through what it would mean for politics, culture and economy in academia.' Sari Hanafi, Professor of Sociology, American University of Beirut and President, International Sociological Association

Synopsis
Drawing on rich interviews, this book develops a transnational theory of academic freedom. It is essential reading for academics and students of the sociology of education. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details., Public debates on academic freedom have become increasingly contentious, and understandings of what it is and its purposes are contested within the academy, policymakers and the general public. Drawing on rich empirical interview data, this book critically examines the understudied relationship between academic freedom and its role in knowledge production across four country contexts - Lebanon, the UAE, the UK and the US - through the lived experiences of academics conducting 'controversial' research. It provides an empirically-informed transnational theory of academic freedom, contesting the predominantly national constructions of academic freedom and knowledge production and the methodological nationalism of the field. It is essential reading for academics and students of the sociology of education, as well as anyone interested in this topic of global public concern. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
