Event

The term antisemitism invokes actions, arouses passions, and enflames debate. On April 7, 2024, the Jewish Studies Program of the University of Pennsylvania will host a symposium on the history, meanings, and responses to antisemitism in the past and present. Scholars will convene to discuss the ways in which the term itself has been and continues to be matter of powerful political contest, will explore the relationship between antizionism and antisemitism, and will consider Jewish responses to such challenges as agents of history in their own right.

This event is organized by the Jewish Studies Program in the School of Arts & Sciences and is co-sponsored by the Office of the President and the Office of the Provost.
