Upcoming Event | Academic Freedom & Palestine Solidarity on UK Campuses: BRISMES and Amnesty International UK Webinar

Posted: 09/11/2026

Thursday 19th September, 17:00 (UK Time)
Online event

The past three years have seen unprecedented restrictions and repression on both academic freedom and Palestine solidarity on UK campuses, from cancelled events to employment discrimination to police repression of students. We invite you to join Amnesty International UK and BRISMES for a webinar that will explore recent research by both organisations on these escalating threats to university life. We will discuss not only the challenges facing UK students and academics who teach, research and speak out about Palestine, but also how we can collectively protect and defend staff and students’ rights.

Speakers

Narzanin Massoumi, Advisor to Amnesty International UK
Lewis Turner, Chair of the BRISMES Committee on Academic Freedom
Michael Hamilton, Amnesty International Legal Advisor (Right to Protest)

Chair

Nicola Pratt, BRISMES President

The event is free to attend and open to all, but registration is essential.
