## Resource

In this episode, Sean Malloy and Meira Gold discuss the Academic Engagement Network (AEN), which has been working behind the scenes on campuses, advising many of the administrators who have been imposing the repressive measures that we've seen throughout the Israeli genocide. AEN claims to have trained 3000 university administrators since 2020 and set up presence on 320 campuses. Along with the ADL, the AEL has now turned its attention to scholarly associations -- sites of growing solidarity with Palestine, and accordingly sites of concern for Zionist institutions. Also mentioned: Anti-Defamation League, Israel on Campus Coalition, Faculty Against Antisemitism Movement, ISGAP, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, Israel Action Network, Brandeis Center, Hillel, Betar, MEMRI, Canary Mission, Amcha Initiative, Milstein Fund, Schusterman Fund, Marcus Fund, Heritage Foundation, American Jewish Committee Resources: On Project Esther - https://contendingmodernities.nd.edu/global-currents/jvp-rejecting-project-esther/ Previous episode discussion AEN - https://criticalzionismstudies.org/2024/04/01/amira-sean-dei/
