Academic freedom and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Cary Nelson

Chapter 19 in Handbook on Academic Freedom, 2022, pp 321-337 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Nelson looks at the case of the AAUP in the context of social media articulations concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He considers the unequal distribution and exercise of academic freedom and advises caution among those with shallower reserves of academic capital, who raise their heads above the political parapet and thus expose themselves to pillory and precarity. Nelson concludes that academic freedom gives faculty wide latitude in designing courses, but colleges and universities have a responsibility to make sure that the overall curriculum includes courses embodying a variety of political perspectives.
