Supporting Academic Freedom

Emerging from discussion of the problems of academic freedom around the Orthodox world at our last meeting, and also from ongoing events, we invite members to submit short essays on the topic. These will be posted on the OTSA web site. While the authors of these blog posts would be known to the editor, his/her identity could be confidential if requested in order to enable honest expression. Members should submit short essays (<1000 words) on this theme to secretary@otsamerica.org. We are looking to collaborate with Public Orthodoxy on this, with them also posting these guest blogs (subject to their vetting process).
