Interview with Jeff Weil : The Movement Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Jeff Weil (BS Physics, 1971) speaks about his family background, the books he encountered during his first year of college at Brown University that changed his view of American foreign policy, and his arrival at Stanford in 1968 in the midst of activism and unrest. He shares memories of the sit-in at the Applied Electronics Laboratory, participating in a demonstration at a trustees’ meeting and being suspended as a member of the Stanford 29, and his writings against the war. He also reflects on ideological differences amongst activists, the accomplishments of the movement, and the impact of that time on his life. Weil concludes by speaking about his career as a hand surgeon and some of the international volunteer medical work in which he has engaged.
