SUMMARY:Academic Freedom and Palestine: Threats and Trends
DESCRIPTION:About the Webinar\nCollege campuses continue to be one of the m
 ost contentious spaces when it comes to politics around Palestine and the 
 escalation of efforts to repress Palestine activism and scholarship. Inter
 est groups have sought in recent years to press university administrators 
 to crack down on students and faculty who are active on the issue of Pales
 tine\, and have often accused them of antisemitism as a means to curtail t
 heir work. Meanwhile\, government officials and courts at both the state a
 nd federal level have taken additional steps that could threaten academic 
 freedom on Palestine.\nArab Center Washington DC is convening a panel to e
 xplore the latest threats and trends in academic freedom on Palestine\, ju
 st as a new college semester is set to begin. Panelists will address how t
 hreats to academic freedom develop\, will discuss the latest tactics and r
 esponses\, and will explore how this dynamic is likely to evolve in years 
 to come.\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nDima Khalidi\nEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR\nPalestine
