SUMMARY:Preparing for the Coming Wave of Campus Divestment Campaigns
DESCRIPTION:One outcome of the spring wave of anti-Israel encampments on ca
 mpuses was that many universities agreed to entertain the outrageous deman
 d for divestment from Israel. The debate over divestment is now likely to 
 be at the forefront of the coming fall wave of campus protests. In this ta
 lk Dr. Pessin will provide many arguments against divestment while looking
  at some case studies of successful responses\, hoping to provide defender
 s of Israel and Jews with the resources to respond to the campaign.\nRegis
 ter Here\nDr. Andrew Pessin is Professor of Philosophy and Jewish Studies 
 at Connecticut College and Campus Bureau Editor of the Algemeiner. His ma
 ny books include Anti-Zionism on Campus\, Poisoning the Wells: Antisemiti
 sm in Contemporary America\, and The Jewish God Question\, as well as sev
 eral novels. His most recent novels are Nevergreen\, a satirical account o
 f campus cancel culture and its deleterious impact on the Jews\, and Brig
 ht College Years\, about the shortest\, gladdest years of life and their 
 impact on our future trajectories. Long ago he enjoyed some moments of fa
 me portraying “The Genius” on the David Letterman Show.\n\n&nbsp\;
