NIAS Studies in Academic Freedom and Epistemic Diversity
Visit www.nias.knaw.nl for more information about the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS-KNAW).
Institutes for Advanced Study hold a special position within academia. By welcoming world-class scholars and fostering disciplinary, epistemological and cultural diversity, these institutes are highly conducive to generating new comparative perspectives and cross-pollinations. The particular combination of advanced scholarship, freedom from institutional constraints and the liberty to venture into new directions, makes them ideal laboratories for reflecting on science and society – and, consequently, for engaging with fundamental questions about academic freedoms, epistemic diversity and the science system.
With this series of monographs and edited volumes, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS-KNAW) aims to present insights from the institute’s fellows, alumni and partners that foreground the structural challenges scholars, disciplines, knowledge domains and academic institutions encounter as they contend with political, policy-related, economic and societal pressures. In doing so, the series seeks to open or further discussions about where scholars and disciplines currently stand, where we envision them going and what is needed to help them get there.
The NIAS Studies in Academic Freedom and Epistemic Diversity is primarily a series by and for academics within the Humanities and Social Sciences, but will also be of interest to academic administrators and policymakers. Titles will be considered based on proposals submitted by NIAS fellows and alumni, initiated by the editorial board, or received through open submission.
