We would like to kindly invite you to the SAIH Conference 2025 with the theme ‘Universities as Sites of Resistance and Social Justice’. In collaboration with the University of Oslo, this conference will take place on Thursday 24 April at Georg Sverdrups hus Aud 1.
This conference aims to create a vital space for dialogue, strategy, and collaboration among students, academics, civil society, and decision-makers at the intersection of academia and activism in Norway and beyond. We will examine the role of academia in defending democratic values, fostering international solidarity and shaping a more just and equitable future.
Amongst others, we will hear from the Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy, Henry A. Giroux, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to education, Farida Shaheed, and Professor of Sociology at Wits University, Johannesburg, Srila Roy. More information on the program and speakers can be found on our website.
