Event Information and Booking 
In this discussion, Professor David Feldman and Professor Stefanie Schüler-Springorum will explore the origins and history of racial conceptions of antisemitism, and reflect on their significance today. They will also consider how racial antisemitism links, intersects and also differs from other forms of antisemitism, and how it links to other forms of racism.
As concerns grow about a resurgence of antisemitic beliefs today, and in the context of current debates about race and racism, this is a timely conversation.
