Anthony J. Hall
University of Lethbridge, Globalization, Professor Emeritus
Anthony James Hall is Emeritus Professor of Liberal Education and Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta Canada. He is Editor In Chief of American Herald Tribune. Of his 36 years in the classroom, twenty were spent at Laurentian University in Sudbury Ontario and then in Lethbridge as a faculty member in Indigenous Studies. Dr. Hall was deeply involved in the academic dimension of discussions and debates on constitutional issues during the decade following the "patriation" in 1982 of Canada's "supreme law." During this decade Dr. Hall was deeply engaged in processes to determine the constitutional meaning of "Aboriginal and treaty rights." These rights were "recognized and affirmed" in Canada's Constitution Act, 1982. In more recent times Dr. Hall has addressed the issue of the treatment of indigenous Palestinians, especially those in the way of the widening frontiers of Jewish settlements in Israel. For comparing the predicament of Palestinians to the treatment of Indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere since 1492, Dr. Hall faced the ire of the Israel Lobby in Canada. In 2016, B'nai Brith Canada led a very aggressive media smear campaign against Dr. Hall. The campaign was initiated with a visceral digital deception on Facebook. The deception led to the immediate suspension of Dr. Hall, then a tenured full professor, without any due process whatsoever. On the basis of an Alberta Court ruling Dr. Hall was reinstated to his professional duties in 2017. Prominent among Dr. Hall's many publications is the two-volume set, The Bowl With One Spoon, published by McGill-Queen's University Press. Dr. Hall continues to be active in research, publication and community service. Since 2014 he has been invited several times to make presentations in his areas of academic specialty at conferences in the Middle East and Eurasia.
