Never Again and Now: A Study of Antisemitism

During recent years, and particularly after October 7th 2023, the world has witnessed an upsurge in antisemitic incidents and rhetoric on city streets, in work and domestic spaces and on university campuses in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. How can we define this term, antisemitism, that has been used to denote a range of phenomena that disparage Jews and Judaism, and try to explain how and why it has changed and continues to do so?

This lecture series invites students to think deeply about contemporary discourses of and about antisemitism in the light of their historical precedents and recent resonances.
