The new Universities Australia definition of antisemitism and its weaponisation against dissent, protest and scholarly debate

Friday, 25 April 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer talks with Dr Nick Riemer from the University of Sydney about the new definition of antisemitism proposed by Universities Australia for use on Australian campuses.

This definition was developed in reaction to pro-Palestine protests against the actions of the State of Israel, to stymie open and scholarly debate.
