{"product_id":"peter-ridd-and-the-case-for-academic-freedom-9781923224407","title":"Peter Ridd and the Case for Academic Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the High Court of Australia handed down its decision on 13 October 2021 endorsing James Cook University's actions to terminate the employment of Dr Peter Ridd, it was not only a dealt a devastating blow to the principle of academic and intellectual freedom, it endorsed a culture of censorship around any debate on climate science. The commentary surrounding the High Court's decision in Ridd v James Cook University (2021) has misunderstood both the legal analysis of Dr Ridd's case and the proper role of the intellectual freedom in a robust academic system. Dr Peter Ridd and the Case for Academic Freedom corrects the record on the High Court's incoherent reasoning and explains why Dr Ridd's campaign in the courts was so important on shining a light on the ongoing threat to freedom of speech on Australian campuses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction - Morgan Begg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBackground and observations - Peter Ridd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcademic freedom in a system beyond repair? - Morgan Begg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pyrrhic victory for James Cook University - Chris Merritt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversities and turbulent academics - James Allan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cascade of injustice: A critical review of the Ridd case - Aynsley Kellow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix: Extracts of key legal documents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Cook University Enterprise Agreement 2013-2016 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Cook University Staff Code of Conduct (28 April 2016) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Connor Court Publishing Pty Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923224407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.28d","brand":"Morgan Begg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45351323107509,"sku":"9781923224407","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d738f3d6-6c20-4e0e-8730-131f3890adcd.jpg?v=1746541011","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/peter-ridd-and-the-case-for-academic-freedom-9781923224407","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
