NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism
The CSA is a center of engaged scholarship and education - inviting scholars, post-docs, undergraduate and graduate students to research, write, and engage in dialogue surrounding the emerging field of antisemitism studies. The CSA hosts public programming based on that education and scholarship to fill a critical need in our community for programming that can contribute to the local/global conversation on the topic.
Opportunities at CSA
The Jewish Question
Two historians try to understand antisemitism, one question at a time.
Co-Hosts Avinoam Patt and Lila Corwin Berman discover the stories and scholars to help make sense of antisemitism today. They start with a theory: the answer to understanding (and perhaps fighting) antisemitism is only as good as the questions one asks. Then, they search far and wide for the best questions and the people who can ask and answer them.
And spoiler: Avi, Lila, and their guests don’t always agree. In fact, that’s the plot, or at least part of it. How scholars and other people can passionately disagree while remaining curious about one another and the world, one question at a time.
Creating a Community of Scholars at the CSA
The CSA hosts scholars from multiple fields of study to conduct research on antisemitism. Scholars participate in public programming at the CSA by presenting their work, attending conferences, and conducting original research.
The CSA welcomes visiting scholars, full-time postdoctoral associates, and research fellowships each semester.
We continuously strive to create a community of robust scholars who collaborate and create research in the field of antisemitism studies.
