In the Student advocacy seminars, students follow scholars and students who have been wrongfully imprisoned and coordinate advocacy activities on their behalf.

Through the seminars, students and university staff are part of a larger network, learning about individual cases, issues pertaining to academic freedom as well as developing skills related to advocacy and campaigning.

How are these acts of solidarity affecting the scholars and their families? Why is it important to lift the university as a site for critical questions and solidarity?

Listen to SAIH's president Hector Ulloa in a conversation about the Student Advocacy Seminars with Professor and author Adam Braver, former chairperson for Scholars at Risk USA Section and coordinator of the student advocacy seminars– a concrete example of university-based solidarity.
