I don't know much abt the ISA, but this seems to align with an assc that is belligerently undemocratic in its attempts to quell BDS & Palestine solidarity. Hoping members rise up against this ghoulish decision, esp in the context of an ongoing genocide. medium.com/@bdsatisa/ce...

Hi there! 👋 We’re here for all the #AcademicChatter and supporting community for all those who are marginalized in academia. And always asking, as we did in our first podcast episode, why are there so many assholes in academia?
