The Criminalization of Student Activism in the History of Modern Genocide

Join Workshops 4 Gaza on January 20th at 3pm EST for an in-depth discussion with @roderickferguson94 about the relationship between modern genocides and student protests 🔥

Step 1: Donate to Sameer Project here (suggested donation $60).

Step 2: Register for “The Criminalization of Student Protest” here.

This workshop turns to the history of the targeting of civilian populations in 20th century wars as a means of deterrence and subjugation. Historically, student protests have been ways to acknowledge and decry modern war’s pursuit of those populations. We will discuss how the criminalization of student protests has been a response to that acknowledgment and denunciation.

Roderick A. Ferguson is the William Robertson Coe Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies and American Studies at Yale University. He is the author of One-Dimensional Queer (@politybooks 2018), We Demand: The University and Student Protests (@uc_press 2017), The Reorder of Things: The University and Its Pedagogies of Minority Difference (@uminnpress 2012), and Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique (@uminnpress 2004).

All proceeds from our workshops benefit collectives and initiatives on the ground in Gaza that are sustaining life amidst world-ending violence by distributing food, water, tents, medication, and even providing educational activities to children. We view these opportunities to gather and learn together as a chance to pool our resources to materially support the Palestinian people.

Please donate generously!
