"Come & Learn" Webinar Program

In the present circumstances, any plans for future scholarly gatherings in the normal conference format are necessarily on hold. Because we regard it as vital for scholars of antisemitism to maintain contact with one another, Indiana University’s Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism is pleased to announce “Come and Learn,” a series of Zoom-based webinar programs. Our goal is to encourage the ongoing pursuit of high-level research on antisemitism by fostering productive and collegial discussion of the most pertinent issues before us.

Our webinar series on contemporary antisemitism got off to a fine start in June with

	Dave Rich’s compelling presentation on British antisemitism, followed by
	Katharina von Schnurbein's update on the European Union's response to antisemitism (watch video),
	Rafal Pankowski's talk on the situation in Poland (watch video),
	Dina Porat's talk on the challenges of defining and monitoring antisemitism (watch video),
	Tammi Rossman-Benjamin's presentation on trends in campus antisemitism in the U.S. (watch video), and
	Cary Nelson's talk on softcore and hardcore Christian supersessionism (watch video).
