Petition to Support Mark Crispin Miller and Academic Freedom <https://off-guardian.org/wp-content/medialibrary/mark-criispin-miller.jpg?x91011>If you believe in academic freedom, as well as free speech overall, please consider signing this petition <https://www.change.org/p/under-attack-at-nyu-mark-crispin-miller-needs-your-support-for-academic-freedom>, and sharing it with others who believe that higher education must be free from censorship of any kind, whether by the state, corporations, foreign interests, pressure groups, or by the university itself. Afull professor in NYU’s Department of Media, Culture and Communication (since 1997), and a recipient of fellowships from the Rockefeller, Guggenheim and Ingram Merrill Foundations, Prof. Miller teaches a course on propaganda, focusing not only on the history of modern propaganda, but — necessarily — on propaganda drives ongoing at the time. The aim is to teach students to identify such drives for what they are, think carefully about their claims, seek out whatever data and/or arguments have been blacked out or misreported to protect those claims from contradiction, and look into the interests financing and managing the propaganda, so as to figure out its purpose. *Click on the link for the rest, including the petition:* https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/07/petition-to-support-mark-crispin-miller-and-academic-freedom/ --- Support News from Underground: http://bit.ly/NFUSupport You received this email because you are subscribed to News from Underground.
