Yoram Lubling, a professor of philosophy, was appointed co-chair of an international Task Force on Humanities by SPME (Scholars for Peace in the Middle-East). The organization’s mission is to inform, motivate, and encourage faculty to use their academic skills and disciplines on campuses, in classrooms, and in academic publications to develop effective responses to the ideological distortions, including anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slanders that poison debate and work against peace.
