Professor Watchlist

Susana Draper is an Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Princeton University. Her research interests include “Latin American Marxisms,” “popular feminisms,” and “memory and social movements.”

Draper is one of 19 professors to form Princeton’s first Faculty for Justice in Palestine group. Draper joined a list of signatories featured in an open letter published by The Daily Princetonian. On November 29, 2023, the Princetonian posted the faculty statement, which included the following quote:

“In solidarity with the [US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel] call for faculty action in defense of students who are currently under attack from university administrators, other student groups, and outside actors for their Palestine solidarity work … we hereby declare the founding of the Princeton Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP).

“We rise in coalition with the students, scholars, and people of conscience resisting the forces currently deployed to silence, mischaracterize, and criminalize dissent on college campuses and beyond … A culture of intimidation, silencing, and punishment is now moving across the United States and around the world.”

Draper and the FJP further declared “support for those in Palestine who have called for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS).” The letter ends with a call for an “end to Israeli occupation and apartheid and for a free Palestine.”
