Since October 7, Israeli researchers and faculty have felt the chilling effects of a flourishing global boycott movement. In a shift that’s taken hold at high levels of American academia, Israeli scholars and universities have been barred from conferences, squeezed out of research grants, and cut out of collaboration with colleagues around the world.  

Is there a way out of this mess? Join us on Thursday, December 5 at 1:00 PM ET as SAPIR editor-in-chief Bret Stephens interviews Netta Barak-Corren, the Haim H. Cohn Chair in Human Rights Law at the Hebrew University’s School of Law and Ronald R. Krebs, Distinguished McKnight University Professor and a professor of political science at the University of Minnesota. They’ll discuss the dangerous normalization of academic boycotts and which forces in the American university are fighting back.
