The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has published papers that were to have been presented at its conference on academic boycott in February 2006. The conference was cancelled due to sustained pressure from the Israel lobby in the United States, Britain, and Israel. Several articles arguing for the academic boycott of Israel were presented to the organizers and subsequently published in the AAUP's journal Academe. An introduction by Joan Wallach Scott, co-editor of the papers in the September-October 2006 issue of Academe, discusses the background to the conference and the circumstances that led to its cancellation. The introduction and selected papers from the journal follow.
