PROFESSOR ANDREA J. MARTIN TO GIVE PRESENTATIONS AT UCLA LAW SCHOOL
January 2025 — Professor Andrea J. Martin will deliver two presentations at the 4th Annual Law vs. Antisemitism Conference at UCLA Law School on March 23 and March 24. Following the keynote address by Dean Erwin Chemerinsky from UC Berkeley Law titled Campus Antisemitism/Anti-Zionism in the Aftermath of October 7, Professor Martin will discuss insights from her article, “Balancing Freedom of Expression and Equality On College Campuses In the Wake of Intensified Antisemitism.” The next day, Professor Martin will participate in a panel discussion, Marketplace of Ideas to Monopoly of Thought: BDS Activism and Campus Free Speech. Professor Martin will draw on her research about the amplification of discourse surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict discourse and the intensification of antisemitism on college campuses since October 7, 2023, the use of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students, and her analysis of First Amendment jurisprudence in higher education settings.
Professor Andrea J. Martin researches the intersection of law and antisemitism within broad legal, historical, and political contexts and explores its connection to other forms of group-based hate. Her scholarship focuses on constitutional issues and the intersection of the law with historical and contemporary antisemitism and racism. Her scholarly work is dedicated to proposing legal strategies and policies to combat these issues.
