Nadia Abu El-Haj, Co-Director of the Center for Palestine Studies, is participating in the upcoming webinar, “The Politics of Defining: A Roundtable Discussion about the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism,” hosted by the Harvard Divinity School on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, from 12 – 1:30pm.
An alternative to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), the recent Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (JDA) endorsed by scholars of antisemitism, Jewish Studies, Holocaust Studies, and Middle East Studies challenges the politicization and litigation of antisemetism by rearticulating what is and is not antisemitism. This panel will feature some of the key framers of this alternative declaration as well as other interlocutors who navigate the legal, political, and cultural terrains consolidated by IHRA and similar discourses. The panelists will reflect on its strengths and weaknesses, illuminating pathways for productive reassessment. For more information on the Declaration, please visitwww.jerusalemdeclaration.org
