On episode 66, we speak with sociologist and activist Sheryl Nestel about the impact that the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Working Definition of Anti-Semitism (IHRA) has had on Canadian activists, academics and students.

Nestel co-authored a brand-new report, “Unveiling the Chilly Climate: The Suppression of Speech on Palestine in Canada,” as a project of Independent Jewish Voices Canada.
