Catherine Hall, a history professor at University College London, says her rejection of $300,000 in prize money from The Dan David Foundation was “an independent political choice.” She declined to elaborate Thursday, but the move appears to be inspired by the international BDS movement, which calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel. The Dan David Prize for scientific, technological and cultural accomplishments awards three annual $1 million prizes.
