Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25, Political Science major Jordan Brown will present her research “The Freedom to Boycott: An analysis of state interactions between BDS movements and Israel”.

My research paper explored the motives behind states’ increased legislation against Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movements and its correlation with the strength of states’ connections with Israel. My first hypothesis stated that if a state has economic investments with Israel, it will be more likely to adopt anti-BDS legislation, so to avoid interruptions with a prominent trading entity.
