About the Webinar - After months of protests around the world on and off campuses against Israel’s war on Gaza, the horrors on the ground against Palestinians grind forward, and many universities have taken steps to repress protests, silence dissent, and eliminate space for free expression. Despite these repressive efforts, activism on Palestine continues. An incoming Trump administration may only accelerate these trends. What has the protest movement on campuses actually looked like, and what has motivated it? What steps are administrators taking to protect academic freedom or violate it? How are faculty members responding? What role are government officials and law enforcement playing? How might this all evolve under a new administration? What are the broader implications of the repression of this movement for the United States and its policy in the region?
