Judith Butler: On the Record

Philosopher Judith Butler is a public endorser of the academic and cultural boycott of Israel.

On the record

• Ongoing — A public endorser of the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USACBI). [USACBI endorsers]

Where Galil stands

Our opinion: Butler chose to endorse USACBI’s institutional academic and cultural boycott. Galil opposes that campaign; this record does not claim she endorsed a boycott of individual scholars. [USACBI guidelines]
