The academic boycott movement: A reflection on cross-border solidarity and lockdown

The essay explores how the academic boycott of Israel advocates for the right to education and right to freedom of movement of Palestinians by reflecting on the politics of space, mobility, and borders in Palestine. I situate the boycott movement in the context of struggles over the neoliberalization of the academy and academic repression, especially censorship of the Palestine question, and in relation to movements for social and economic justice.
