Eli wrote a book, Beyond Education, that most directly influenced the ideas that have shaped this podcast. In addition to discussing his work as it relates to Palestinian liberation and scholasticide, Eli shares a thoughtful, deeply personal educational biography. He describes feelings of unbelonging in Jewish summer camp, joyous moments of radicalization in basement punk shows, encountering Arundhati Roy and Edward Said during undergraduate studies, and a million different organizing projects that study and struggle toward another world.
