We’re back with another session of our University Divestment & Boycott Training Series! This month we’ll hear from divestment campaigners and academic boycott organizers that have led or guided campaigns on campus, as well as the divestment experts at American Friends Service Committee.

• Omar Barghouti, BDS movement co-founder
• Dov Baum, Director of Corporate Accountability and Research at AFSC’s Action Center for Corporate Accountability
• Abdullah Farooq, graduate student at Cal Tech, UAW member, and YDSA leader  
• Max Flynt, student at San Francisco State University and member of Students for Gaza and the General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS)
• Olivia Katbi, BDS movement North America campaigns coordinator
• Noam Perry, Strategic Research Coordinator at AFSC's Action Center for Corporate Accountability

We’ll discuss:

• Strategies to end universities’ financial and academic complicity in Israel’s genocide and violence against Palestinians
• The basics of campus divestment/boycott
• Common challenges that arise in divestment and boycott campaigns
• How to employ “strategic radicalism” to effectively advance your campaign towards its goals

This training will be useful for students and allied university staff that are already deep in divestment negotiations as well as those who haven’t yet launched a divestment/boycott campaign. The lessons discussed will be applicable across a wide range of university contexts & geographies.
