Abstract
In 2024, students’ encampments for Gaza sprang up on many university campuses around the world. The mainstream media, university leaders, politicians and conservative Jewish groups have denigrated them as uninformed, antisemitic and violent. Through an analysis of the camps themselves and their online presence we challenge this view. As settler Australian education scholars, we show how the encampments, as sites of student solidarity with and for Palestine, are spaces of lively and informed pedagogy and learning guided by ethical commitments to ending the war in Gaza and justice for Palestinian peoples. They offer the contemporary neo-colonial, neoliberal university lessons on socio-politically relevant pedagogies for justice.
