About this event

On Friday, 26 April October at 2.00pm we will be hosting Dr Maya Wind, who will present her book, recently published with Verso, Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom. The book documents how the Israeli academic system contributes to the oppression and dispossession of Palestinians.


Maya Wind is a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. Her research on the reproduction and international export of Israeli security expertise has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, and the Killam Laureates Trust.


Her presentation will be followed by comments by Rhys Machold (School of Social & Political Sciences), and chaired by Toni Marzal (School of Law).


Event open to all University of Glasgow staff and students, in-person only.
