Anthony James Hall
Anthony James (Tony) Hall is a Canadian professor in the Liberal Education Program at the University of Lethbridge[1] and editor-in-chief of independent news site American Herald Tribune.[2] Critics have called him a conspiracy theorist.[3]
Early life[edit]
Hall received his B.A. and M.A. from York University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.[4]
Career[edit]
Hall is a professor at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. At Lethbridge, he has been a professor in the Department of Native Studies,[5] and the founder of a program in Globalization Studies. However, in October 2016, Lethbridge suspended his position without pay while it investigates whether he violated the Canadian Human Rights Act[6][dead link] by "providing a platform for hate speech". The Canadian Association of University Teachers condemned the university's suspension and requested his reinstatement.[7]
Activism[edit]
In 2001, Hall organized an academic conference on indigenous rights, coinciding with the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police questioned him about his activities, which the Canadian Association of University Teachers called a violation of his academic freedom.[8] Hall wrote a book called Earth into Property (McGill/Queens University Press, 2010) describing the disastrous effects of capitalism on indigenous peoples. A review in The Independent said the book "deserves a far wider readership than it's likely to get via a small Canadian publisher."[9]
Hall belongs to the 9/11 Truth movement.[10][11] He has also promoted anti-Zionist conspiracy theories in collaboration with Holocaust deniers Kevin Barrett and James H. Fetzer.[12]
