The Palestine Exception: film screening and conversation

As part of a national day of action in defense of higher education, several academic departments and the Whitman-AAUP will be screening The Palestine Exception. The film will be followed by conversation. A summary of the film from the directors: “As students across the country organize protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the “Palestine exception”–are shattered. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians.”
