Feminist scholars stand with Professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian on Mondoweiss

54. We uphold a feminist praxis for true academic freedom and begin with the premise that all forms of genocide, including sophicide and scholasticide are antithetical to learning, teaching, well-being, and safety; that university administrators and authorities everywhere should be held accountable for their role in genocide and systemic oppression; and that feminism must expose the matrix of power, its operation, performativity, and functionality; and must center the ability to live and learn freely, from our campuses all over the world to Palestine. Anchored in a feminist praxis for academic freedom and freedom of speech amidst a genocide, we demand the immediate cessation of the reprehensible persecution and investigations against Professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian.
