Art work by Marina Veličković, visual implementation Anna Sophia Tiedeke.

This symposium provides a forum for critical and reflective discourse on the current state of academic freedom in matters relating to Palestine and to Israel’s grave international law violations therein. The symposium highlights the erosion of academic freedom amidst the heightened climate of restrictions and constraints imposed upon Palestinian advocacy, a situation that has become increasingly evident since 7 October 2023. It further highlights the role of such restrictions in sustaining existing biases in academic discourse, as well as the potentials of critique in a situation of epistemic inequality and injustice.
