The North American Middle East Studies Association has created a new website that keeps track of and analyses assaults on academic freedom on account of Palestine advocacy since 7 October 2023. The data is useful, and so too is the advice available on the website to academics who face harassment or threats because of their research or teaching, and administrators who are responsible for the welfare of their faculty or who directly face harassment or intimidation. Here is the link: https://mesana.org/advocacy/task-force-on-civil-and-human-rights/2026/05/04/academic-freedom-initiative-website
