The new Universities Australia definition of antisemitism and its weaponisation against dissent, protest and scholarly debate

Friday, 2 May 2025 - 9:00am to 9:30am

Jennifer talks with Dr Nick Riemer from the Uniiversity of Sydney about the new definition of antisemitism proposed by Universities Australia for use on Australian campuses.

This definition was developed in reaction to pro-Palestine protests against the actions of the State of Israel, to stymie open and scholarly debate.

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
