On Sunday 12 December the University of Southampton’s Faculty of Humanities in conjunction with the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non–Jewish Relations will be hosting an exclusive all–day event focusing on ‘Antisemitism’.
Led by several of the Faculty’s foremost academics from disciplines such as History and Modern Languages, the day will consist of five 30 minute talks with time for discussion ranging across a wide variety of subjects from anti-Judaism in the ancient world to assessment of the state of contemporary antisemitism.
We do hope that as many of you as possible will be able to join us for this cultural day and take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the nature and impact of antisemitism from the perspective of different communities around the world in addition to historical developments. We will explore change and continuity in the nature of both hostility and positive reactions and responses towards Jews from the perspectives of history, literature, religion and culture.
This event will be held from 10am – 4pm at the Avenue Campus, Lecture theatre C.
Our team of experts from within the Faculty of Humanities will absorb and fascinate you during this thought-provoking cultural event and there will also be the opportunity to ask questions and have a group discussion. The event is being sponsored and subsidised by the Parkes Institute and The Karten Foundation and as a result tickets cost £25 for external attendees and £20 for concessions (alumni, students, University staff and Friends of Parkes). Both ticket prices include lunch on the day as well as tea and coffee during breaks.
