Valley Beit Midrash

ABOUT THE EVENT: This event will cover the discussion of “But really, what is antisemitism? Is there antisemitism at my university? If so, what can I do about it?” ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rachel Underweiser conducted a research study through the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship at Johns Hopkins University called “The Perception of Antisemitism on College Campuses in the U.S. and the U.K,” which has become the largest study on antisemitism at universities to date. Hundreds of interviews and surveys later, she has quantitative and qualitative data on what antisemitism means to both Jewish and non-Jewish students – and practical tools to combat hate wherever, and whenever, it manifests. She now works for the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and their front-facing initiative called [tbh] Together Beat Hate where she researches, writes, and conceptualizes innovative ways to discuss and counter hate, bigotry, and discrimination.
