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 founding principle of the Institute is that the study of antisemitism is vital to understanding racialization, racism and religious intolerance.
