ANT 295-01 - Special Topic: Jews, Multiculturalism and Antisemitism4 credits (Fall)
This course examines Jews and Jewish diversity as an interruption to discussions of multiculturalism and specifically examines the persistence of antisemitism over time and space. Cumulatively, the readings provide a loose overview of theological anti-Semitism, racial anti-Semitism, social anti-Semitism and political anti-Semitism. Political anti-Semitism offers up important corollary questions concerning the relationship(s) between identities, power and knowledge, the consequences of globalization on stereotypes and (mis)representation of people and places and, importantly, the role of academic activism and its political consequences.
Prerequisite: Second-year standing.
Note: Plus-2 option available.
Instructor: Gibel Mevorach
