\nThe case of the Durham PhD student,\u00a0Matthew Hedges<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 who has been arrested and placed in solitary confinement on the charge of spying \u2013 exposes the extreme limits on academic freedom in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). But Hedges\u2019s plight, while outrageous, is not altogether shocking for seasoned observers of the oil-rich Gulf monarchy.<\/p>\n

This year I spent four months as a visiting professor at the UAE\u2019s national university. I found much to admire in their universities. Staff conduct research in campuses endowed with world-class facilities that arouse awe and jealousy from visiting academics. Highly motivated students make teaching rewarding.<\/p>\n

These benefits however come at a price \u2013 academic freedom. Academics are often banned from entering the country because they are classified as\u00a0security threats<\/a>. Academics find themselves arbitrarily imprisoned for\u00a0human rights activism<\/a>.\u00a0Censorship<\/a>\u00a0is regularly applied to academics and scholarly events. During my time in the UAE, restrictions were placed unannounced on internet and Skype use.<\/p>\n

These limits on academic freedom are motivated by the authorities\u2019 obsession with clamping down on any activity considered threatening to security and authority. The state is unnerved by the chaos unleashed by the protests and demonstrations of the Arab Spring, and will do anything to stop this being exported to its shores.<\/p>\n

Any hint of dissent directed at the Emirati elites, or demand for greater liberties, predictably results in a security crackdown. The potentially democracy-promoting spaces of the internet \u2013 and especially social media \u2013 are of particular suspicion. In 2012 the law on\u00a0cyber crimes<\/a>\u00a0made imprisonment acceptable for any speech seen as damaging the state.<\/p>\n

The Qatari spat<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is its neighbour\u00a0Qatar<\/a>\u00a0that particularly vexes the UAE at present. The UAE\u00a0accuses<\/a>\u00a0Qatar of sponsoring terrorists to destabilise the region. These claims are currently elevated to a full-blown diplomatic crisis involving\u00a0sanctions and a major blockade<\/a>\u00a0against Qatar \u2013 with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, the UAE, and the internationally recognised Yemeni government severing diplomatic relations.<\/p>\n

But what really drives UAE\u2019s antagonism towards Qatar is its state-funded media network, Al Jazeera. The broadcaster represents a thorn in the side of the Gulf monarchies by broadcasting\u00a0embarrassing stories<\/a>\u00a0about them. And in pursuit of taking down its rival, the UAE courts help from allies.<\/p>\n

In the US special counsel\u00a0Robert Mueller\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0investigators have probed for information about possible attempts by the UAE to gain political influence by siphoning money into Donald Trump\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign. And in March this year, the\u00a0BBC obtained emails<\/a>\u00a0of a lobbying effort by the UAE to get the US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, sacked for failing to support the UAE against Qatar.<\/p>\n

This returns us to Hedges\u2019 case. The UAE\u2019s attorney general announced that the PhD student is accused of \u201cspying for and on behalf of a foreign state<\/a>\u201d and jeopardising \u201cthe military, economic and political security of the UAE\u201d. Matthew Hedges\u2019 research, which investigates the impact of the Arab Spring on the UAE\u2019s security strategy, clearly hits a tender nerve. His arrest additionally acts as a powerful message that the state is willing to curtail the free speech of academics.<\/p>\n

The limits to academic freedom<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As an academic working in the social sciences, I have been brought up to think perhaps optimistically of universities as bastions of free speech and critical thinking. In spending a number of months based at the UAE\u2019s national university I soon learned that education here served a rather different function. Rather than encouraging critical thinking, education in the UAE rests on a technocratic logic. Education is supposed to help its society resolve tricky social problems and maintain the status quo.<\/p>\n

For example, up to\u00a090% of students<\/a>\u00a0at the national university are women and the university is segregated into male and female campuses. By studying at university, women are supposed to gain practical skills that help them integrate into the labour force without losing their traditional roles as mothers and wives.

But the state may be fighting a losing battle.\u00a0Marriage rates are decreasing and the UAE has the highest divorce rate<\/a>\u00a0in the region, as women demand more independence. In teaching, I found the female students to be incredibly hardworking, engaging and ambitious driven by increasing openings in employment. The issue of free speech may well come next from students.<\/p>\n

The lure of the UAE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Given that there are many wealthy students keen on gaining qualifications from world-ranking institutions, the UAE is an attractive destination for cash-strapped UK universities. In September, for example,\u00a0the University of Birmingham<\/a>\u00a0opened a campus in Dubai. But academic freedom is an inescapable issue confronting these institutions. A number of high-profile cases have plagued\u00a0New York University Abu Dhabi<\/a>\u00a0since it opened in 2008.<\/p>\n

I enormously enjoyed my time as an academic in the UAE and I can\u2019t complain of any bad personal experience. But I very quickly learned the limits of academic freedom. I would love to return, but I fear that even writing this piece could see me fall foul of the UAE authorities.<\/p>\n

Some\u00a0UK-based academics have already been banned<\/a>\u00a0from entering the UAE for penning critiques of the Gulf state. And as can be seen in Hedges\u2019 case, doing research on topics deemed to be sensitive leads to frightening consequences.<\/p>\n
