Faculty on the Front Lines (Intro)

In this special episode of our series Academic Freedom on the Line, Vineeta Singh interviews Anna Feder, an organizer, curator, and cinema exhibition consultant who serves as the Director of Programming for the Resistance of Vision Film Festival. Anna has collaborated with the Palestine Anti-Repression Network and the AAUP’s Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom to create a series of video testimonies from educators who have faced backlash for standing with their students or for questioning the Palestine exception. We also hear the testimony of one of her interviewees, MIT professor Michel De Graff.
