The question of how freedom continues to develop occupies many of us. Authoritarian leadership is gaining ground, technology influences how we think and act. At the same time, it is becoming more difficult to step outside existing frameworks.
In cooperation with the National Committee 4 and 5 May, VU Amsterdam organizes an evening where lectures and discussion come together around this theme. Jörgen Raymann will host the evening. He is a board member of the National Committee and a passionate connector who brings younger generations and diverse groups in society closer together.
During the evening, professor Jeroen de Ridder, along with professors Marianne Hirsch Ballin and Nikki Sterkenburg, who are affiliated with the National Committee for 4 and 5 May, will share insights from their research and engage in dialogue with one another. They will demonstrate how Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam contributes, through research and dialogue, to a deeper understanding of freedom, and how these insights can be used to help safeguard the freedom of others.
What do these insights mean for how we view freedom?
