The Center’s First Major, International Academic Conference
The April 2016 Reconsidering Antisemitism: Past and Present conference gathered a group of 19 leading experts—which included scholars, journalists and a politician—in Chapel Hill for three days of intensive discussion. Several hundred students, scholars and community members participated in the conference. The discussion topics were chosen from different historic epochs in order to show the complicated history of anti-Judaism and antisemitism starting in antiquity and resurfacing in recent events in Europe, South America, the Middle East, and the United States.
