Maira asks, “When scholars and students who openly connect U.S. state formation to imperialism, war and racial violence are disciplined, then how are we to understand freedom, academic and otherwise?” She is co-editor of the book The Imperial University: Academic Repression and Scholarly Dissent (University of Minnesota Press, 2014).
