Defining, Regulating, and Combating Antisemitism

In recent years, antisemitism has emerged as the test case for negotiating the extent of civil rights protection and the bounds of free speech in an era of intense political polarization. This closed workshop will convene an international, multidisciplinary research group to examine the changing legal landscape with regard to antisemitism (in multiple countries) and the political implications of the increasing recourse to law. Papers presented at the workshop will be published in a special issue of Law and Ethics of Human Rights.

Sponsored by: The Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism, NYU Berlin, NYU Tel Aviv, NYU Law, NYU Center for the study of Antisemitism, Minerva Center for Human Rights, Law and Ethics of Human Rights, College of Law and Business and The Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics.
