Oh how it the teacher who has to go into hiding going?? Is there a campaign to help them??
>A campaign mobilising support from academics, students, trade unionists and Palestine solidarity activists has pushed back against the victimisation of Palestinian academic Shahd Abusalama, a PhD student and lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU). Student activists, Palestine solidarity organisations, trade unionists and academics wrote letters of protest to SHU management and campaigned on social media after reports that her teaching had been cancelled in response to accusations of antisemitism. Within days, however, the campaign was able to claim an important step forward, as the University reinstated Shahd’s classes, although without dropping the investigation.
>Bob Jeffrey from Sheffield Hallam UCU told Middle East Solidarity that the University’s actions had set immediate alarm bells ringing in the union branch, which has supported Shahd and represented her in meetings with management.
