YPSA Scholar-in-Residence Magda Teter’s Events

Date: Wednesday, February 11, 4-5:30pm

Location: HQ 276

Public Lecture: “On Jewish Suffering, Empathy, and the Need to Rethink Antisemitism”

Description: With antisemitism at the center of politics today and with a frequent conflation of the opposition to the State of Israel, known as antizionism, with antisemitism, Magda Teter will explore traditional scholarly approaches to antisemitism along with factors that historically shaped the habits of thinking about Jews to reconsider the nature of antisemitism and to rethink antizionism and hostility against Israel not only as products of modern conflict over land but also as ideas rooted in religious conceptions about Jews, Judaism, Jewish exile, and guilt and punishment.
