This programme is held in Swedish
The history of the Nobel Prize is filled with laureates who have been persecuted, imprisoned, or forced to flee. Today, authors and researchers are oppressed in war and conflict zones, as well as in countries where human rights are not upheld. Even in democratic nations, threats and hate are used against many who research and write.
Meet Kerstin Almegård, publisher and chair of Swedish PEN, and Nina Wormbs, professor at KTH and active in SAR (Scholars at Risk), in a conversation led by Carin Klaesson from the Nobel Prize Museum.
During the evening, questions such as the following will be discussed: How can we safeguard a society’s freedom of expression and academic freedom? How can the world receive and support authors and researchers when they are driven into exile?
