Founded in 2004, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) is the first interdisciplinary research center dedicated to the study of antisemitism to be established in North America. Its mission is to explore antisemitism from a wide range of approaches and perspectives within an academic framework, including the study of such topics as the changing historical phases of antisemitism, how antisemitism relates to other forms of hatred, to what extent it is unique, how some societies are able to resist antisemitism, and how policies can be developed and implemented to combat it.
Launched in 2015, the ISGAP-Oxford Summer Institute is dedicated to the development of antisemitism studies as a recognized academic discipline. Every year it brings together academics from around the world for an intensive one-week workshop-based curriculum development program in critical contemporary antisemitism studies. The papers in this collection were written by some of the program’s most creative participants.
