AERA, a founding member of the Human Rights Coalition led by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has expanded its presence in the human rights arena. This June the 熊猫视频Council voted unanimously to join the Scholars at Risk Network (SAR).

SAR is an international network of academic institutions and individuals working to promote academic freedom and to defend the human rights of scholars worldwide.

As explained on its , SAR saves lives by providing sanctuary to professors, lecturers, researchers, and other intellectuals who suffer threats in their home country and helps them continue their professional work abroad.
