We are a community of scholars who draw our intellectual lineage from studying and teaching at NSSR in the tradition of the University in Exile, the Democracy Seminars, and the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies. We come together to consolidate our energies and experiences through publicly engaged social science and humanities. Building on our existing partnerships, we will work towards these goals by engaging in pedagogical, research, and civic activities such as:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Protecting and advancing scholarly freedom;<\/li>\n<li>Identifying and exposing practices of silencing academics;<\/li>\n<li>Collaborating with scholars from regions affected by conflict and authoritarianism;<\/li>\n<li>Developing critical research, including studies of social and economic forces endangering the autonomy of scholars and academia;<\/li>\n<li>Facilitating the bridging of academia and civil society through meetings and public events;<\/li>\n<li>Exploring and creating alternative sites and ways of conducting research and teaching;<\/li>\n<li>Developing signature courses and collaborative teaching and research programs;<\/li>\n<li>Establishing grants and scholarships for students, scholars and activists engaged in work that fosters the goals of NSSR Europe;<\/li>\n<li>Developing publication projects dedicated to publicly engaged social science;<\/li>\n<li>Recognizing and honoring courage in public scholarship through awards and fellowships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Wroclaw on July 18, 2014<\/p>\n<p>Lukasz Andrzejewski, University of Wroclaw\/Institute for Human Sciences (IWM)<\/p>\n<p>Manuela Badilla Rajevic, New School for Social Research, New York, USA<\/p>\n<p>Shawn Carri\u00e9, New School for Social Research, New York, USA<\/p>\n<p>Hana Cervinkova, University of Lower Silesia, Wroclaw, Poland;
