When neo-con politicians, media attack academics: Interview with Sheryl Nestel
In recent months, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto (OISE/UT) has been accused of producing anti-Semitic scholarship.
The attacks have been spurred by opinion pieces published in The National Post by Richard Klagsbrun, John Kay, and the NP editorial board. While condemning OISE as a whole for its "extremism," The National Post zeroed in on a Master's thesis completed in 2009 by Jenny Peto and her supervisor, Dr. Sheryl Nestel.
