Join the Internal Organizing Committee for a New Member Phonebank.

Activism and Academic Freedom in a Time of Genocide
On college and university campuses across the US, talk of “academic freedom” and “student safety” has become all-consuming. But what is academic freedom? And whose safety are we really concerned with? As hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel’s genocidal attacks, faculty, students, and staff across American colleges and universities are being charged with creating an “unsafe atmosphere” by speaking up for Palestinian liberation. What does it mean to create an “unsafe atmosphere” in the context of talking about genocide? How has safety been weaponized to silent dissent? What are our rights and what are our responsibilities? And what can we do now?
Maura Finkelstein is a writer, ethnographer, and former associate professor of anthropology. Finkelstein, who is Jewish, continues to come to public attention and is said to be “the first tenured professor to be fired for Pro-Palestine speech.
