Your Shortcut to... University Campus Protests


Listen Later

In this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll look at why college students are protesting about the Gaza war at campuses across the United States. They’ve made headlines over the past month because some of the demonstrations have turned violent, sparking debates over free speech and even forcing the White House to weigh in. They’ve also spread to Aussie universities, where students have set up camps, and tensions are running high. So we'll look at what they’re trying to achieve and their likely impact - if any.

Squiz recommends:

Reading: This explainer from The Guardian discusses what’s been happening at university campuses in Australia.

Listening: This episode of The Daily podcast from The New York Times gives a good account of the US protests, particularly on the night of the UCLA arrests, and what impact the activism could have on Joe Biden’s bid to retain the Presidency.
