8:30 AM New York l 2:30 PM Vienna
Authoritarian regimes in Afghanistan and Myanmar have created highly repressive environments that have significantly threatened liberal education. Consequently, OSUN member institutions from these two parts of the world are forced to operate primarily in exile. This event sponsored by the Liberal Arts and Sciences Collaborative brings together Afghan and Burmese students to share their experiences of engaging in liberal education while navigating an extremely constricted civic space in which enjoying academic freedom risks state persecution.
