This SPME Faculty Profile is being published anonymously, but powerfully demonstrates the need many of our colleagues have to feel connected with a peer group dedicated to academic excellence, honest debate and elevating the understandings of the issues of the Israeli Arab Conflict.
I learn so much from Philip Carl Salzman's articles. As a librarian in a college I am going to request that we purchase Philip's books.
My interest in SPME stems from looking for resources for combating anti-semitism and anti-Israel sentiments at my college. It is my solitary battle as the only Jewish employee (and faculty member) on campus. The articles that I have read on the SPME site have helped educate me and given me objective information for discussion, presentation material in the classroom and for library displays.
Unfortunately, in order for me to not worry about job retention I cannot post for public viewing the reasons for my involvement with SPME as of yet. Hopefully one day soon my work environment will be more hospitable.
