Antisemitism 101: From the Ancient World to the Internet – Spring 2022

Tree in white print with black background representing Anti-semitism

We saw it at the Capitol Insurrection; we’ve experienced it on our campus. Antisemitism is not a thing of the past.  Indeed, it exists in our community today and there is evidence that it is on the rise. This interactive workshop will offer participants an overview of the history of antisemitism and its manifestations in the contemporary world. Points of emphasis will include the ancient and medieval roots of antisemitism the proliferation of online hate, and how Jewish experiences in the United States parallel those of other targeted groups and the proliferation of online hate.

Prior to the workshop, participants will read about terminology and recent antisemitic incidents. Our hope is that you will come away with a better understanding of antisemitism, new ways to recognize and talk about it, and methods to combat it in your classroom, on our campus, and beyond.
