Session 2: Academic future imagined: The role of academics in the public debate: on scholactivism and cancel culture (Statenzaal) ‘Scholactivism’ has recently generated a heated debate in the legal academic community. It refers to academics taking an explicitly normative standpoint in their work. Many academics advocate for legal principles, rights, obligations or regulatory changes. Questions have been raised about scholactivism and the evolving perception of the academic role and the ‘scientific’ rigour. Some highlight the need for critical distance from the object of research. Others stress the need to leave ivory towers and seek positive social impact. In this panel, we have invited our speakers to reflect on these challenging questions and share their experience. |
