Abstract | Academic freedom is seriously under threat. Here I will consider how the marketisation of Higher Education has exacerbated the decline of 'academic freedom'. While the effects of a 'cancel culture' on university provision are difficult to ignore, threats to academic freedom raise a number of questions, such as: 'who is allowed to speak on campus?', 'to whom?', and 'about what?'. These questions are fundamental to the academic profession, and therefore have clear implications for teaching and learning in Higher Education. Through an analysis of Netflix's "The Chair" (2021), and drawing on the works of Martin Buber, I argue that academics' freedom to teach is implicitly constrained by student-consumer desires, and in turn this reduces the space for genuine dialogue on university campuses. Rather than closing down debate and the discussion of 'controversial' topics, universities instead need to cultivate a climate of trust, openness, and reciprocity on campuses, such that genuine staff-student dialogue can flourish. University campuses are precisely the places where academics should be able to engage in scholarly debate on matters of importance -- where students may be exposed to radically different viewpoints and perspectives -- and film and TV series can be used to initiate such conversations.
