Given the increasing restrictions on expression of opinion, criticism of Israel, and solidarity with Palestine as well as the restrictions on academic freedom, how can we jointly promote scholarship that is publicly engaged, responds responsibly to this crucial situation and preserves the diversity of discourse?

 

The infrastructure project brings together diverse participants for a day of panel discussions and group conversations to examine repression and explore constructive and critical resistance strategies. It is also about developing ways to support students and researchers from Palestine and their allies. This event is the first step in building a framework to support communications, resource sharing, coalition building, educational programs, legal and media actions, and various initiatives that extend beyond our direct networks.

 

The following speakers have already confirmed: Nahed Samour, Miriam Schickler, Wesam Amer , and Dörthe Engelcke.
