The teacher as advocate and the nature of academic freedom. The responsibilities of an advocate. A definition of academic freedom that gives teachers latitude in deciding how material is taught but that emphasizes the responsibilities teachers have toward students. How teachers can introduce views without requiring students to adhere to them. One teacher on why the inclusion of a feminist perspective on literature--or a perspective that men and women are equal and should be considered equally--matters. The challenges of teaching controversial subject matter, and one teacher's experience teaching a Middle Eastern history course.
