“Terms of Repression”

You’re invited to our 2026 Reunions Event: Terms of Repression

Join us for a panel discussion with Dr. Sadaf JafferAditi Rao, and a student (now alum) participant in the 2024 encampment and expert on Princeton’s complicity in war crimes. Moderated by Irfan Khawaja ‘91.

What types of repression have students and faculty been facing since the 2024 encampment? How do the University’s actions towards Palestine activists square with President Eisgruber’s new book on campus speech policies, Terms of Respect? Where does the divestment movement stand, and where do we go from here? 

When: Saturday, May 23th, 11:30am – 1:30pm. Panel discussion and mingling to follow. There will be food for purchase. 

Where: in town, very close to campus – exact location will be shared with confirmed attendees. RSVP here.

Calling All Palestine Activists

Converge on Princeton: Reunions, May 21-24
I’ve been making the case to pro-Palestine activists wherever I go: the experience of being shut down at LeMoyne, NYU, U of Texas at Dallas, and Rutgers (with the prospect of retaliation at Michigan) and elsewhere is certainly a dispiriting one, but the answer is not to keep demanding entry where entry has effectively been denied, but to find opportunities for visibility when and where they present themselves.

Activist Interviews Page

I just created a new Activist Interviews page to house the Activist Interviews series I began this past January. I’ve so far only posted one interview, the one I did with Emanuelle Sippy of Princeton University’s Alliance of Jewish Progressives. Forthcoming interviewees include Sireen SawalhaSadaf JafferAditi RaoAna Paola Pazmiño, various participants in Princeton’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment, and many more. Stay tuned.

Grand Slam in the Jersey Legislature

All three bills of the Immigrant Protection Package (previously the Immigrant Trust Act) have passed both houses of the New Jersey State Legislature, and now await the signature of the governor, which it’s presumed he’ll give (here’s Politico, New Jersey Monitor). In addition, adoption of the so-called IHRA definition of anti-Semitism has been thwarted, meaning that the bill to codify the definition did not advance to a vote. Continue reading

Anarchy in Baltimore!

EDITED to change the order of presenters:
EDITED AGAIN to change a couple of references to “December” to “January.”
EDITED YET AGAIN to update location: We’re in Laurel B at 2:00, and Laurel C at 4:00. So, different rooms, but the least bad case of different rooms. On the 3rd floor (escalators will take ya; 2nd floor is registration btw), tucked away past the Harborside rooms.

Policy of Truth at Radio Jornalera NJ

I’m pleased to mention that my October 8 post, “La Migra and the Lessons of History,” has been published in both English and Spanish at the Substack of Radio Jornalera NJ, where some of my migrant defense posts will, going forward, be cross-posted. Many thanks to Radio Jornalera’s editor Paulo Almiron for translating the piece into Spanish. I’m also grateful for Radio Jornalera’s posting an earlier piece of mine, on activism and its critics.
