When
Dec 12 2024
12:30 pm - 2:00 pm


Description

How can we stand in solidarity with Palestinians seeking justice, while also avoiding antisemitism—and resist those who seek to conflate the two?

Authors Shane Burley and Ben Lorber will share personal stories, historical reflections, and interview data from their recent book to discuss how to combat antisemitism and build true safety for Jews and all people. The conversation will be moderated by Atalia Omer, professor of religion, conflict and peace studies.

Shane Burley is the author of Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It (2017), the editor of No Pasaran! Antifascist Dispatches from a World in Crisis (2022) and co-author of Safety through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism (2024).

Ben Lorber works as a Senior Research Analyst at PRA, focusing on white nationalism and antisemitism. Lorber has worked as a journalist, organizer and movement-builder for over a decade. Lorber has published on right-wing social movements, Israel/Palestine, Jewish culture and other topics at The Nation, Salon, The Jewish Daily Forward and more.

Lunch will be provided. Sponsored by the Contending Modernities research initiative and the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.
