Peer-to-Peer Support for Academic Freedom
Faculty First Responders is an organization focused on peer-to-peer support and education to defend and expand academic freedom. We partner with the AAUP to provide resources and counseling for academic workers who are experiencing politically-motivated harassment, doxing, or employment retaliation.
Faculty First Responders aims to:
- Monitor right-wing online news coverage of higher education and proactively reach out to targeted faculty, students, staff, and administrators to share resources and support.
- Offer peer-to-peer counseling and advice to academic workers experiencing media attacks, campaigns of harassment, doxing, or other threats to their academic freedom and free speech.
- Present webinars and workshops about academic freedom and digital security, offering practical advice and facilitating important conversations for collectives of academic workers.
Our team welcomes questions, requests for support, and any other inquiries at facultyfirstresponders@gmail.com. Contact us any time!
