How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom

 

Join us for this book talk with Dr. Maya Wind, President’s & Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Riverside, and a fellow at the Freedom and Justice Institute of Scholars for Social Justice. 

Israeli universities have long enjoyed a reputation as liberal bastions of freedom and democracy. This book shatters this myth, and shows how israeli universities serve as pillars of israel's system of oppression against Palestinians. Academic disciplines, degree programs, campus infrastructure, and research laboratories all service israeli occupation and apartheid, while universities violate the rights of Palestinians to education, stifle critical scholarship, and violently repress student dissent.
