About Academic Questions

Academic Questions, the official journal of the National Association of Scholars, seeks to apply the best scholarly analysis to explore the vices and virtues of the contemporary university. A journal dedicated to strengthening the integrity of scholarship and teaching, Academic Questions examines issues that arise from the interplay among politics, ideology, scholarship, and teaching in higher education.

Among the broad range of questions explored in the journal are the maintenance of scholarly standards, the quality and even-handedness of peer review, the preservation of intellectual tolerance and civility on campus and within academic associations, and the relationship between government and education. A critique of the academy by academics themselves, Academic Questions upholds the traditions of humanism and intellectual freedom.

Academic Questions is published quarterly in the spring, summer, fall, and winter for the NAS by Springer Science + Business Media. The opinions and views expressed by the contributors and editors of Academic Questions are their own, and do not necessarily express the viewpoint or official position of the National Association of Scholars.
