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&nbsp;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&nbsp;<strong>annual tribute to exceptionally audacious thinkers, teachers, and doers through an annual Courage in Public Scholarship Award.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This year, the Award went 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 was held on International Human Rights Day, December 10th, 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">This year&#8217;s Speakers: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening Address:&nbsp;Baroness Helena Kennedy QC<\/strong>, Director to the International Bar Association\u2019s Human Rights Institute<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seyla Benhabib,<\/strong>&nbsp;Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Professor of Philosophy Emerita, Yale University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Michael Ignatieff<\/strong>, Rector Emeritus and Professor of History, Central European University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moderated by<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aryeh Neier,<\/strong>&nbsp;President Emeritus, Open Societies Foundations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, December 10th, International Human Rights Day, TCDS presented its 2021 Courage in Public Scholarship Award to Osman Kavala, an audacious doer, thinker, and visionary for a better world&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":289,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50911,18694,42046],"tags":[50911,6501,69710,8612],"class_list":["post-7658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-courage-in-public-scholarship-award","category-events-news","category-nssr-europe","tag-courage-in-public-scholarship-award","tag-human-rights","tag-kavala","tag-turkey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/users\/289"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7658"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7658\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7672,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7658\/revisions\/7672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs-test.newschool.edu\/tcds\/wpjson\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
