The Courage in Public Scholarship Award was envisioned in 2014 at the conclusion of the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies’ (TCDS) Democracy & Diversity<\/em> Summer Institute in Wroclaw, Poland, by a group of New School for Social Research (NSSR) and TCDS alumni living and working in Europe. They discussed the meaning of The New School academic experience that had shaped their personal and professional lives: its openness to others, its critical approach, its intellectual engagement, and its culture of dare-to-know and dare-to-discuss. Guided by The New School\u2019s commitment to scholarly excellence, civic engagement, and ethical commitment to the larger world, they formed the NSSR-Europe Collective. Drawing on the ethos of the University in Exile and the conviction that, especially in dark times, universities carry a special responsibility vis-\u00e0-vis society, they proposed to establish an annual tribute to exceptionally audacious thinkers, teachers, and doers through an annual Courage in Public Scholarship Award.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Award goes to Osman Kavala<\/strong>, Turkish publisher and philanthropist, who, for his work on behalf of cultural dialogue, has been held in an Istanbul prison for over four years without a conviction. The Award Ceremony is held on International Human Rights Day, December 10th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
