CEPS, in cooperation with the SLODRE association, invites you to the School Field seminar, where we will once again listen to an established guest from abroad. This time we will be visited by Prof. Dr. Steve Fuller (Warwick University, Great Britain), the author of a series of acclaimed books and articles on knowledge in the context of modern times, on geographies of knowledge and geometries of power, on science and democracy, on social epistemology, on knowledge management, on the commodification of knowledge and education, and last but not least on the question that we are also experiencing in all its topicality in our country: is academic freedom useful (the newspaper Delo already published an article on this topic in July 2010), why is it necessary to (again) deal with the issue of academic autonomy?
His introductory lecture is entitled Academic Autonomy in the 21st Century: Why Does It Still Matter and How Should It Be Achieved? For the rest of the evening, we expect an open discussion, in which, as usual, we will ask questions and seek answers together with our guest.
