6/13 (Zoom) 7pm - Antisemitism Curriculum from a Framework of Collective Liberation (UUJME)

Thursday June 13, 7 pm Eastern - Zoom

"Antisemitism Curriculum from a Framework of Collective Liberation" (link to sign up in the webinar title)

  • The curriculum opens with some basic understandings of what antisemitism is and begins to consider what challenging antisemitism can look like from a framework of collective liberation. What follows is discussion of the racially, ethnically, economically, and culturally diverse Jewish communities that have lived throughout the world for centuries as well as global, historical examples of Jewish experience and antisemitism.

    From there, interwoven with broader social, political and economic context and realities, the focus is on antisemitism currently. We look at how antisemitism manifests today (e.g., acts of violence, impact of rise in white nationalism, stereotypes/tropes, philosemitism, and more) and the connections and intersections with other forms of racism and injustice. In order to understand what antisemitism is, it is also important to know what it is not, and here the discussion addresses the ways antisemitism has been misused to serve an anti-liberatory agenda.
