During this webinar, our esteemed speakers will bring attention not only to the imprisonment of many academics in many places in the world, but will also showcase the particular case of Azerbaijani economist Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, who was an original member of the New University in Exile Consortium, founded in 2018 at The New School. Dr. Ibadoghlu has been unjustly imprisoned in Azerbaijan since July 23rd, 2023. This event will be the culmination of a month-long advocacy campaign to free Dr. Ibadoghlu, and will coincide with the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Presented by the New University in Exile Consortium at The New School for Social Research.Â

On July 23, 2023, Consortium Scholar, Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu was violently arrested and detained in Baku, Azerbaijan. He remains in detention, where he is being held under cruel conditions and his health is deteriorating rapidly. Along with other academic institutions and human rights organizations, the New University in Exile Consortium is preparing for a Month of Action, beginning on Dr. Ibadoghlu’s birthday, September 12, to bring global attention to his unjust detainment and to demand his release.

The Consortium is a globally expanding group of colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Each institutional member is committed to hosting at least one threatened scholar every year and these exiled hosted scholars constitute our scholar cohort. We work with them individually and together to try and lessen the profound sense of dislocation that exiled scholars suffer and which adversely impacts their intellectual and personal lives. In the past year, the Consortium has expanded its mission to include finding placements for threatened Afghan and Ukrainian academics, students, and artists at Consortium member institutions.
Established in September 2018, the Consortium follows in the tradition of The New School’s original University in Exile created by The New School’s first President, Alvin Johnson, in 1933. The first University in Exile became the home of rescued, largely Jewish endangered scholars from Germany and France. Today, members of the New University in Exile Consortium are hosting more than 150 exiled scholars from 24 countries.
