Academic associations are facing tough decisions about where to meet in light of calls to boycott Congress 2024, a June 12-21 slate of conferences held by the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences and set at McGill.
The Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL), which has been on strike since April 24, has been calling for associations to avoid crossing their picket line, or to show solidarity with the union if moving off-campus was unavoidable. Now, the Popular University Encampment is joining with a larger call to boycott the Congress.
CKUT spoke to the AMPL’s Kirsten Anker as well as some of those who are going off campus, or withdrawing from the conference entirely, to show their solidarity with picketers and protestors at McGill.
