On December 3, the Faculty of Culture and Society and Department of Global Political Studies will host the first Scholars at Risk Speakers Series in Sweden.
Scholars at Risk (SAR), which is based at New York University, is a network of universities that work to protect scholars whose careers and lives are at risk because of what they teach or do research on. Four Swedish universities are members, including Malmö University.
Shirin Zubair is a Pakistani professor of literature and gender studies who is currently a visiting SAR-scholar in Norway. The title of her lecture is ”Beyond Malala: Gender Education and Academic Freedom in Pakistan”.
