In May 2012, 17 human rights and student organizations issued a joint statement addressing concerns about heightened threats to academic freedom and students in Iran. According to the statement, over 600 students have been arrested since 2009, many of them imprisoned and deprived of their education, as a result of their political activities.

On this website and in each issue of Social Research, the Center for Public Scholarship publishes the names of and information about scholars who have been threatened, imprisoned, or otherwise persecuted, along with ways to offer them support.

Social Research was founded by a community of scholars known as the University in Exile, refugees from Nazi Europe who found a home in The New School. We see this new effort as consistent not only with our own history as a journal but with the need to call attention to the increasing, often brutal attempts to silence our colleagues around the world.
