Episode 236 - Unsettling Ourselves
Manage episode 417963313 series 1020333
This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by professor and academic, Mohamed Abdou, for a discussion of decolonial theory and a reflection on how the framework of decolonization benefits pro-Palestine solidarity and organizing.
Mohamed, one of three faculty members targeted and smeared during congressional testimony by House Republicans and the president of Columbia University, discusses the explosion of student encampments around the United States in support of Gaza, and the lessons we can learn not only about the farce of academic freedom but the impressive tenacity of students and what they are sacrificing.
We also learn more about the smeared campaign facing Mohamed, as well as the significance of Columbia University's connection to Israel which makes it a legitimate target of BDS.
