Abstract
In January 2025, nearly 200 scholars across numerous disciplines gathered on the campus of the University of Southern California to discuss modern-day censorship in the sciences; many more participated virtually. Recordings of the talks and panels, available online, have already been viewed over 300,000 times. The proceedings of the conference are published in this special issue of the Journal of Controversial Ideas. In what follows, we introduce the topics discussed at the conference and highlighted in this special issue and related publications.
Keywords: censorship; academic freedom; DEI; cancel culture
