RELEASE: Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Report for Swedish Universities

Workers and Students in Swedish Academia for Palestine (WASSAP) are welcoming you to the release of the report "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Report for Swedish Universities", detailing the ongoing collaborations between Israeli and Swedish universities. The report outlines the ways in which Israeli universities and institutions have in various forms participated in legitimizing and upholding the illegal occupation of Palestine and the genocide of Palestinians. We also explore how Israeli universities have participated in silencing critical voices among students and staff, thus endangering academic freedom.

Samuel Girma will moderate the evening, which consists of the following program:

15:15-16:15 - Presentation of the Report + Q&A (moderated by Erik Lindman Mata)

16:15—16:30 - Break

16:30-16:50 - Scholars at Risk and Gaza: Presentation by the Swedish Representative of Scholars at Risk (SAR) and representative of SAR Sweden in the European Advocacy Committee (EAC), Claudia Tazreiter.

16:50-17:00 - Poetry reading by Judith Kiros

17:00-18:00: Moving forward: Collective dialogue on how to further the movement, asking where do we go from here and what have we been missing (Moderated by Hossam Sultan).
