Please join us on Tuesday, October 21, for a webinar with Professors Guy Harpaz and Yuval Shany from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU).
Profs Harpaz and Shany will examine the challenges the Hebrew University faces in the context of the global boycott movement.
The discussion will address how the boycott against HU manifests itself and its links to wider anti-Israel and antisemitic trends, the arguments made by its supporters, and the counterarguments HU advances.
The speakers will share how the HU is engaged on this front, highlight the efforts being made to push back against these narratives, and offer forward-looking ideas on how we can strengthen our strategy and build resilience for the future.
