7th ANIE Annual Conference

SAR’s Acting Director of Learning, Lauren Crain, will give a workshop on ‘Promoting Values in International Partnerships’ and an introductory session on getting involved with the Scholars at Risk Network at the 7th ANIE Annual Conference in Accra, Ghana.

The workshop will be an opportunity for participants to learn more about Scholars at Risk’s international consultation group working to prepare a guide on higher education values in order to offer a framework for dialogue and activities both within and between higher education institutions grappling with issues of equitable access, accountability, academic freedom, autonomy, and social responsibility.
