Israel Speaker Series: The Academic Boycott & the Future of the Start-Up Nation with Professor Netta Barak Corren

October 10 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

The “Start-Up Nation” faces unprecedented challenges. In the wake of the October 7th attack, a growing academic boycott threatens to undermine Israel’s innovation ecosystem. Join us over Zoom as we learn about the boycott, and its implications on academia and innovation, and explore strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into one of the most pressing issues facing Israel today.

Professor Netta Barak-Corren is a legal scholar and cognitive scientist, focusing on empirical and behavioral analysis of constitutional and public law, with a particular interest in conflicts of rights and the interaction between law and religion and law and social norms.

Minneapolis Jewish Federation’s Israel Center presents the Israel Speaker Series. There is so much misinformation about Israel that it is hard to keep things straight. The Israel Speaker Series aims to provide factual information on pressing topics, information on how our community is helping Israel, and inspiration about the place we consider so important. Regardless of your knowledge or comfort level regarding Israel, there is something for everyone!
