Lecture by NU London professor Chloe Yale Pinto.

The hatred of Jews and gendered violence has been historically, and complicatedly, entwined. By unpacking various interwoven strands of these prejudices, manifestations of gendered antisemitism come to light. This lecture will discuss different forms of gendered antisemitism, including religious, racial, politial, ad epistemic, while foregrounding the research and writings of Jewish women. By understanding gendered antisemitism we can come closer to critically combating this specific form of hybridized hatred on the page and beyond.
