Facing Antisemitism: Rebuilding Anti-Racism
This talk looks at antisemitism, the primary motivator of the Holocaust, and calls for a way of confronting it that locates it within the larger global history of racism. In particular, I will draw out some of the ways that anti-Jewish racism and anti-Muslim racism have historically been related to each other. Looking at antisemitism in this relational way can enable stronger anti-racist responses to antisemitism, as part of the challenge of standing together across communities.

Beautiful Pembroke College. (My @bbkpsychosocial BA lecture on Monday was about cultural capital, & last night about the somatic norm in elite institutions (using the brilliant “Space Invaders” by@spatialmutation) so my trip to Cambridge today feels like a bit of a field trip.) pic.twitter.com/3bKVt2y7CF
