Topic: Government interference

Government interference in academic institutions and disciplines threatens the principles of free speech and academic freedom.

More on: Government interference

The topic of government interference is relevant to the two podcast episodes provided, as both episodes explore instances where governmental authorities have interfered or attempted to interfere in matters that should be outside their purview.

In the episode "Introducing The Runaway Princesses from In The Dark and The New Yorker", the podcast investigates the alleged exploitation of women by the ruling family of Dubai and the British government's interference in investigations involving Sheikh Mohammed due to his wealth and power.

Similarly, the episode "Episode 235 - Speech in the Academy" discusses how the professors argue against government interference in academic curricula and disciplines, as they believe that racist and factually disproven ideas should be excluded from academia based on disciplinary standards and peer review.
