in our increasingly polarized times, outspoken faculty at canadian universities, such as those who speak publicly on sensitive topics or write for newspapers or magazines, are increasingly the targets of harassment. this is especially the case for those who speak out on issues of racism, or who are racialized.

yet these voices are more important than ever, and their situation has worrying implications for the principles of academic freedom and the role of the public intellectual.

are canadian universities doing enough to support outspoken racialized faculty? are current equity, diversity and inclusion ideals and policies sufficient to address such situations? what can universities do better to ensure racialized and other faculty can challenge dominant paradigms without risking their wellbeing?
