Intellectual Humility allows us to better understand othersโ emotions and care for them without becoming overwhelmed. This holds true for both ingroup and outgroup members, as we found in the complex relational context of Israelโamong Jewish and Arab Israelis.
On a personal note, this paper feels more relevant than ever for my bleeding country, Israel. No matter who you are, where you are, or what group you belong to, intellectual humility can foster understanding and connectionโwith your loved ones, colleagues, and neighbors.
Trigger warning: It is hard to listen to a mother screaming out to her son held hostage in a tunnel, kidnapped during the Nova festival. Thank you Rachel and Jon for your words on behalf of families who are grieving or still waiting for their loved one to come home @bringhomenow
Boycotting academics in Israel is counterproductive https://t.co/0Qw80tXHyH
In this correspondence to Nature, my colleagues Mouna Maroun, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Roi Avraham, Shir Atzil, and I explain why boycotting the Israeli academia is counterproductive.
I strongly support a ceasefire and a return of the hostages. I also support disclosure and am open to divestment.
But I absolutely donโt support calls from protestors to have universities cut off relationships with Israeli academics.
I donโt think any academics in any country should be professionally sanctioned or isolated on the basis of their government.
Just because we donโt like a governmentโs actions does not mean American academics should punish other students or academics in other countries. That feels deeply discriminatory.
Many students and academics are first in line to protest or criticize their own governments, which many Israeli academics are doing at this exact momentโcalling for a ceasefire, release of hostages, and new leadership.
I urge more academics to stand up for one another, for your colleagues in other nations. I also donโt think we should cut off Russian academics based on Putinโs actions. Or that US academics should be punished if people donโt like our President.
I also strongly support universities having campuses and exchange programs with campuses in other nations. Iโve learned an incredible amount from engaging with colleagues and students in other countries, what a tragic loss it would be for people to lose out on those opportunities.
Hopefully universities will draw the line on these demands. Hopefully academics will have their back and speak up about this. I havenโt heard a single word about this from anyone on here so I felt the need to say something.
