Susannah Heschel 
Dartmouth College Professor
and Renowned Scholar  

“Antisemitism as a cultural code:
what’s new in the scholarship?”

Antisemitism is not new, but the scholarship analyzing its varied manifestations is young and underdeveloped. Professor Heschel will discuss debates among scholars about the nature and purpose of antisemitism and suggest new approaches, drawing from theories of emotions, gender, sexuality, and temporality to better understand antisemitic motivations and impact.
