Longtime political science professor Jeffrey C. Isaac joins us at Big Talk once again. Outspoken during the spring pro-Palestinian protests on campus, Isaac defended the rights of students to publicly criticize the waging of the Israel-Hamas War and he stood behind a faculty member who was suspended as well as an artist whose exhibition at the Eskanazi Museum of Art was cancelled. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation; Part 2 next week will cover the 2024 US presidential election.
