Hite Chair Scholar Lecture Series

The SRF Hite Chair Scholar Lecture Series seeks to inform and promote interest in issues of academic freedom and political liberties. The series appoints SRF visiting academic fellows to engage in school-wide lectures, panel discussions and course-related seminars to share the personal experience of a threatened scholar and to educate university and high school audiences on global human rights issues around the world.

The Hite Chair Scholar Lecture Series is made possible by the generous support of the Hite Foundation Chair for Communications of the Scholar Rescue Fund.  If you are interested in welcoming a Hite Chair Scholar for a lecture on your campus, please contact us at SRF@iie.org or 212-205-6486.
