Emergency Symposium “Academic Freedom and Gender Studies: The Case in Hungary and a Response in Japan”　

In 2017, the Hungarian government passed a law that resulted in the expulsion of Central European University and in 2018 banned gender studies programs within Hungary. Faced with this unprecedented political intrusion into university research and academic freedom, we need to think about what we can do.
