Today, antisemitism is still a social and political problem. However, many disagree as to what it actually is. In this course, we will explore the various efforts in history to define antisemitism and the political factors that informed them. We will examine a few contemporary definitions of antisemitism and evaluate the political worldviews of each, so that participants can consider the role these definitions play in efforts to counter antisemitism as well as how they inform broader socio-political concerns.
