Assessment
A conference at Yeshiva University gathered two hundred academics to reframe antisemitism as a social science problem rather than solely a historical or theological one. The event suggests a significant institutional push to generate fresh data and scholarship during what advocates are calling a crisis moment. Watch whether this academic framing gains traction in university curricula and federal research funding debates.
