This teach-in will map academic repression, scholasticide and resistance across and between US universities and Israel/Palestine. Panelists will explore how the on-going repression of pro-Palestinian speech and activism on US college campuses have affected students and staff, the network of institutions within and outside of the US shaping US campus policy towards pro-Palestinian speech and activism, the state of US universities and their global reach in the region, all situated within the on-going scholasticide of the entire educational infrastructure of Gaza, and the killings of many of its educators. Panelists will also discuss the unique role of US universities in movement buildling.
