The Tam Institute for Jewish Studies (TIJS) at Emory University will feature Prof. Sigal Ben-Porath (University of Pennsylvania) as the speaker for this year’s Rothschild Lecture. The lecture, to take place on Thursday, October 29 at 7:00pm, will address the topic: “Campus Speech About Jews After October 7.” This free, on-campus event will be held in the Carlos Museum’s Ackerman Hall.

Since October 7 the rhetoric about Israel, Jews, Zionism and antisemitism has escalated and intensified. This talk will consider the continuity of this rhetoric with past claims about Zionism and Judaism, and the shifts represented by recent protests and boycott efforts. Join Professor Ben-Porath as she outlines possible boundaries, and the consequences of setting and enforcing them.

Dr. Ben-Porath is the faculty director of the SNF Paideia program for dialogue and civic engagement and Presidential Professor of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Ben-Porath holds secondary appointments in Penn’s Departments of Political Science and Philosophy. Her recent books include Cancel Wars (University of Chicago Press, 2023), Free Speech on Campus (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017), and Making Up Our Mind (with Michael Johanek; University of Chicago Press, 2019).
