Professor Brenna Bhandar (University of British Columbia) was invited to visit the German Research Foundation-funded “Structural Change of Property” Collaborative Research Centre based at the University of Jena as a Mercator Fellow in late April for research workshops and a public talk. On February 13, one of the convenors of the Centre communicated to her by email that, having learned of her support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign targeted at the Israeli state, “we cannot and do not want to hold the planned event” in Berlin since this “would definitely be understood (especially in the very heated debates following the Documenta) as support for the BDS by our research centre”. The convenor added that they considered “the call for a boycott to be wrong against the backdrop of German history on the one hand and in view of the current situation [in Israel] on the other”. Prof. Bhandar had been approached by members of the Centre as far back as 2019, who made it clear at the time that including fellows whose work centred race and colonialism in the study of property was an important concern for them. She was formally invited in late 2021 to take up the fellowship. While not cancelling the Mercator fellowship outright, it was made unequivocally clear in the initial email and in subsequent communications, that the Centre did not want to be associated with Prof. Bhandar in a public forum, and that her visit was to be limited to exchanges with other researchers in Jena. The suggestion of continuing to draw on her work and expertise in a somewhat sequestered manner is a particularly problematic suggestion when addressed to a racialized woman scholar.
Prof. Bhandar’s experience follows in the wake of the well-known attacks on numerous scholars, artists, and intellectuals for supporting (or not denouncing) BDS. The effort to exclude voices criticising Israel or arguing for Palestinian rights from the German public sphere seems to be accelerating after the Bundestag’s factious designation of BDS as anti-Semitic in 2019 – though it bears noting that German courts have repeatedly deemed actions taken on the basis of that legislation unconstitutional. The climate around BDS prompted the directors of many major German cultural institutions to set up the “Initiative GG 5.3 Weltoffenheit” (‘world-openness’) to affirm the right to publicly and critically discuss matters pertaining to Israel/Palestine in Germany. The “Structural Change of Property” Centre and its members, like other academic and cultural institutions in Germany, have an ethical duty to publicly clarify whether they intend to sacrifice academic and artistic freedom, scholarly discussion, and openness to international and marginalised voices for the sake of a definition of anti-Semitism that has repeatedly resulted, among other things, in forbidding Jewish as well as Palestinian voices from engaging in public debates on questions of rights and justice in Israel/Palestine.
