Please join us and invite your students, colleagues and friends to this exciting panel discussion on the movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against the state of Israel and its violations of human rights. We will learn about the emergence of university-based BDS, the history of human rights boycott campaigns, the principle of academic freedom, and current events in this movement–including boycott and divestment initiatives in academic associations and on campuses across the U.S. and beyond.

Featuring: Matthew Abraham, David Gibbs, Miranda Joseph, Alexander Karaman, Brooke Lober, Sandra K. Soto, Ariel Tinney, and Alisha Vasquez.

Co-Sponsors: The Middle East and North Africa Graduate Student Organization; Gender and Women’s Studies Graduate Council; UA Students for Justice in Palestine; UA Jewish Voice for Peace; and the Southern Arizona BDS Network.
