Antisemitism is said to adapt to different times, places, and ideologies. What is antisemitism like today? This talk identifies new expressions of Jew hatred that are emerging in our time of democracy fatigue and stress. By analyzing antisemitism today, we can also better understand the current crisis facing Western culture.
This event is sponsored by the Lab for the Global Study of Antisemitism at the Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies, and co-sponsored by the Centre for the Study of France and the Francophone World.
