Professor Salaita is at the centre of an international protest against academic censorship. Author of six books and many articles, he was "unhired" from a tenured position in American Indian studies at the University of Illinois when donors pressured the university because of Salaita's tweets on his personal Twitter account about the Gaza massacre this past summer. Because this action is widely recognized as part of a broad effort to silence voices for Palestinian rights and justice, and as one incident in the long history of colonial treatment of indigenous peoples, the case has attracted international attention.

Shireen refers to a video in her speech Hunger War - you can watch it here: https://www.hungerward.org/ More about Liberation: liberationorg.co.uk More about Stop the War Coalition: https://www.stopwar.org.uk/ (2022) 2: Professor Shireen Al-Adeimi explains the US-Saudi war on the Yemen people including why it's happening, who is responsible and how we can stop it. (2018) 3: For the last six years, Saudi Arabia and its allies with American military assistance have conducted an inconclusive proxy war in Yemen that, according to the United Nations, has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, especially for children. President Biden has now withdrawn U.S. military assistance to Saudi Arabia, but this is not enough. We need to mobilize support from our senators and representatives to push our President to help end the war and to support humanitarian aid for the Yemeni people. The Peace Education Center of Greater Lansing has invited Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi to give us a talk via Zoom on this topic. Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi is an expert on the war and humanitarian crisis in her country of birth, Yemen, and has been advocating for an end to US involvement there since 2015. She writes for In These Times and has been featured on NBC, NPR/PRI, The New York Times, Aljazeera, The Nation, Current Affairs, and others. She is also an assistant professor of language and literacy at Michigan State University, where her research focuses on dialogic talk and student outcomes. (2021) 4: The United States and Britain launched dozens of military strikes on Yemen on Thursday, raising fears of an escalation of conflict in the region. The strikes, launched in response to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea that have disrupted global trade, left at least five people dead. The Houthi movement began targeting ships in November "essentially using a naval blockade in the Red Sea to prevent the blockade against civilians in Gaza," according to our guest, Yemeni American scholar Shireen Al-Adeimi. "This is an offensive act. This is a breach of Yemeni sovereignty," she says about the U.S. coalition's strikes, which were launched without approval from Congress, and which Al-Adeimi additionally characterizes as "a defense of capitalism."
