In the spring semester 2023, American University’s Jewish Studies Program published Understanding Antisemitism: A Guide for the American University Community. Lead author Pamela Nadell worked with AU faculty, students, staff, and administrators to create this guide. This session uses the guide as a jumping off point for understanding antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
