The third annual Academics in Solidarity conference was held on 18-19 November 2021 online

The dissemination of knowledge is key to academic life. The desire to connect scientific knowledge across disciplines and borders has altered the way the field of teaching is conceptualized and practiced: Although transnational networks, multi-language courses and digital tools have considerably changed the face of teaching in academia, restrictions to academic freedom or differential access to lectureships still pose challenges to how teaching is lived today.

The conference "Teaching in Exile: Transnational Experiences in the Digital Age" highlighted the complex assemblage of opportunities and challenges in the field of knowledge transfer by focusing on different teaching experiences of scholars internationally, especially those in exile. The conference also explored how digital media has opened new avenues for transnational teaching models. Teaching in Exile encourages a dialogue on three broad conference themes: Taking Action in Teaching focused on initiatives dedicated to emancipatory research and teaching. Showing Off Science gave the community of Academics in Solidarity and its partner organizations involved in teaching the chance to present their work to a wider network. Infrastructures of Inclusion aimed at advancing democratic involvement in teaching and higher education in general.
