Opening #EWIS2024, EISA President Beste İşleyen reminds us of the paramount of academic freedom, the political message of our work & our responsibility as academics in this moment of global upheaval and resistance. Something other associations could/should learn from.

Overwhelming support for Palestine solidarity and action at EWIS 2024 EISA in Istanbul with continuing talks and discussions on material support for Palestinian scholars(hip), institutional reform, and more.

On 2 July, following the @OfficialBRISMES AGM, BRISMES members and conference attendees at #BRISMES2024 stood in solidarity with Palestine calling for #CeasefireNOW #StopTheGenocide #FreedomforPalestine 1/2

During the AGM, we also launched the 'BRISMES Fund for Higher Education in #Gaza' as we believe that we have a moral obligation to support our colleagues and their students by helping to stop the educide in Gaza. We invite you to donate and share here: gofundme.com/f/the-brismes-… 2/2

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance… thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Israeli authorities demolished a school in South Hebron Hills in the village of Umm Lasafa today. 60 children from kindergarten to grade 4 studied in the school. #Scholasticide in the West Bank ongoing.

Six vacant seats, including the chair's, on the Academic Freedom Committee in the middle of these members' terms is damning, whatever the cause. While the members who quit don't owe anyone an explanation, I hope a few are willing to share. This is serious.

#EISAPEC24 participants: please prioritise attending the General Assembly on Thursday at 12:45 to raise urgent questions about EISA's position vis-à-vis the academic boycott of Israeli institutions & the future of proposed motions to support Palestinian colleagues. BDS in International Studies

Time to hold all of our associations to account & end complicity in genocide! #BDS

This is #GazaScholasticide This is #GazaGenocide‌ Where is ISA on this? BDS in International Studies and everywhere now #EndScholasticide #StopGazaGenocide #FreePalestine

I’ve sat on a member governing board and know how difficult it is to listen & manage member concerns & expectations but ASTONISHED by what just happened at #EISAPEC24 - barely 2mins for member Q&A & will consider members Palestine Q in … 2025. That’s the timeline. No further Qs

If you are concerned with EISA's handling of the academic boycott motions & the board's refusal to let members exercise their democratic rights, do get in touch. A summary document detailing the blocked resolution will be shared online with EISA members soon.

MESA condemns Israel’s US-backed killing over 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including over 10,000 students, over 400 teachers & staff, damaging 90% of school buildings, destroying every university. This is scholasticide. This is genocide. Where is ISA on this? BDS in International Studies now
