About this Event
Please join us for the annual Abel Lecture on Antisemitism featuring Prof. Pam Nadell on Tuesday, January 27, at 6:00 p.m. ET, at 617 Kent Hall.
In this lecture, Prof. Nadell discusses her recent book, Antisemitism, an American Tradition, which investigates the depth of this fraught history. She explores how Jews fought antisemitism through the law and by creating organizations to speak for them. Jews would also fight back with their fists or join with allies in fighting all types of hate. This momentous work sounds the alarm on a hatred that continues to plague our country.
Prof. Pamela S. Nadell holds the Patrick Clendenen Chair in Women’s and Gender History at American University. Her book America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today won the 2019 National Jewish Book Award’s Everett Family Foundation “Book of the Year”. A past president of the Association for Jewish Studies, she is a consultant to Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life museum, has testified multiple times before Congress, and lectures widely.
