The Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism holds seminars, workshops and conferences for scholars, and lectures, discussions and film screenings that are open to everyone.
Professor David Feldman’s inaugural lecture, Equality, Race and the Jewish Problem, considers the changing debate on the Jewish presence in Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries, asking whether hostility towards Jews was marginal or central to British society.
The relationship between antisemitism and other forms of racism and exclusion is not only a historical question. It is an urgent issue for today.
