Antisemitism: A Political Tradition -Virtual Series

In recent years, the world has witnessed a dramatic rise in anti-Jewish incidents, rhetoric and imagery. But in fact, these indicators of anti-Jewish hate are often recycled from earlier eras and retrofitted to current situations. The scholars in this timely lecture series will draw from their respective areas of expertise to elucidate the terminology and imagery of antisemitism in the modern era and the many ways in which it becomes embedded in society via language, media, and technology. This is ultimately a political and social issue that cannot be explained by — or blamed on — the actions of Jews themselves. Please join us for our 2024 Virtual Series, Antisemitism: A Political Tradition, where our speakers present cutting-edge research and fresh perspectives to address what has been called “the oldest hatred.” This series showcases AU faculty and alumni’s scholarly expertise in the study of antisemitism. This program is co-sponsored by American University’s Jewish Studies Program and the Meltzer Schwartzberg Center for Israel Studies.
