On Free City Radio this week, we hear a conversation with Sheryl Nestel of Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) Canada who speaks about a report released this past fall that examines the ways that expression on Palestine has been repressed on campus and within many institutions within Canada. The report is described this way:
"IJV has spent the last year gathering research about the repression faced by academics, students and Palestine solidarity activists, collecting approximately 80 testimonies describing the resulting “chilling effect” in Canada. This report is the first of its kind anywhere in the world, utilizing ethnographic methodology and qualitative analysis to describe both the overarching effects of this repression as well as the deeply personal impact it has on activists, artists, students and professors. While focused on Canada, it also holds international ramifications as many of the processes we describe are present in other countries."
