Series | A Short History of Antisemitism

The recent outburst of violence in Israel and Gaza has many tragic consequences. Locally, in the UK we have witnessed an increase in antisemitic incidents. As academics specialising in the histories of anti-Jewish violence and prejudice, we believe that a knowledge-based dialogue is the best way out of such crises. In that spirit, we offer a series of short lectures designed to inform our academic community about antisemitism in the past in the UK and beyond. We hope that the specific histories we share will inspire our audiences to combat all forms of prejudice today.

The 20-minute lectures will take place in Lecture Room C in Nuffield Theatre on the Highfield campus at 1 pm every Wednesday between 21 February and 20 March. Please note that these talks are in-person only.
