Campus Experiences Post Oct 7
Since October 7, 2023, some American college and university campuses have become sites of intense contestation over Israel, Palestine, US foreign policy, free speech, police intervention, antisemitism, and Islamophobic or anti-Arab sentiment. To begin to create a historical record of the many different experiences and perspectives of students, faculty, and staff, JWA invites you to share your story.
- Please name or describe your campus (for example, either “X University” or “a large urban campus in the Northeast”). Indicate whether you are a student, faculty, or staff member, and how long you have been at this campus.
- How have the attacks of Oct 7 and the war in Gaza affected your campus? Describe your involvement or personal experience with the campus responses.
- How has your relationship to your school and its community changed?
- How has your relationship to Judaism or your Jewish identity changed?
- In what ways has gender shaped your experience with these events?
- What do you wish more people understood about your experiences on campus this year?
