About F4P Alberta:
Linked to the national F4P network, the Alberta Chapter is a solidarity group consisting of faculty members from all ranks and post-secondary institutions in Alberta. As members of society responsible for education, teaching, and research, we recognize a public responsibility to bear witness to the continued oppression and suffering of Palestinians, and to publicize the complicity of Canadian policies. We are also concerned with threats to academic freedom in Israel, Palestine and Canada.
