As a historian of British imperialism, I cannot close my eyes to the colonial legacies, similarities and solidarities between the Palestinians and my people. Moreover, as an educator of the next generation I find that I cannot in good conscience accept an award from an institution that, in this moment, has failed to meet its moral obligations to principles of justice for Palestinian lives and academic freedom. If I did, I would not be able to face my students in my classes on Decolonization.
