The end of the academic year is an opportunity to summarize BDS developments in higher education and politics. The global coronavirus pandemic, the possibility of Israel ‘annexing’ part of the West Bank, and the most unusual American presidential race in modern history have been the backdrop for dramatic change but also marked continuity, particularly with respect to antisemitism. SPME’s Live Briefing Series covers recent BDS developments and gives listeners the opportunity to ask questions to SPME staff.
