Academic freedom is at risk. From the impact of the cuts in the UK to the threats faced by scholars in Turkey, Iraq, Belarus and Thailand, Index reports on the pressures. As creationists in the US use legal means to undermine the teaching of evolution in the classroom and the push for open access divides the academic community, leading writers and commentators analyse the space for freedom - with Maureen Freely, Thomas Docherty, Michael Foley, Heather L Weaver, May Witwit, Sinfah Tunsawaruth, Bart Knoles and more. Plus - as the Leveson Inquiry prepares to report on the culture and ethics of the press, Alan Rusbridger, Guido Fawkes, Trevor Kavanagh, Mark Lewis and Martin Moore reveal their hopes and expectations.
