Course Description
This network collaborative course promotes new teaching and thinking about four distinct but overlapping areas of inquiry: antisemitism, the Holocaust, colonialism, and gender. Each of these terms is a lens through which we examine prejudice, discrimination, race and hate in their historical and contemporary manifestations. At the same time, these terms mark out historical experiences which are generally discussed in parallel and sometimes antagonistic ways. Antisemitism and the Holocaust are very often studied separately from forms of racism rooted in colonial legacies, and all three detached, too often, from considerations of gender. The aim of this course is to reframe discussions that at present take place in parallel, and sometimes in an antagonistic manner. Faculty and students explore together how we may use teaching and learning to clarify and work through intellectual divisions which have real-world implications and manifest in diverse national and regional contexts: for instance, in battles over the practice of public memory and in debates over conflict in Israel/Palestine.
