In this Sentience episode, host Gloria Farris interviews Dr. Habiba Noor, a professor in Trinity’s education and urban studies department about the symposium “Academic Freedom in an Era of Educational Intimidation” hosted on Trinity’s campus earlier this year. The symposium brought in a wide range of panelists including Antonio L. Ingram III of the Legal Defense Fund and educators from all around Texas like Dr. Aimee Villareal from Texas State University to discuss the current issues surrounding both higher education and K-12 schooling. The episode features conversations captured during the symposium about subjects ranging from book banning to critical race theory and beyond.
