In Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition (Norton, 2013), David Nirenberg  seeks “to demonstrate how different people put old ideas about Judaism to new kinds of work in thinking about their world; to show how this work engaged the past and transformed it; and to ask how that work reshaped the possibilities of thought in the future.” This discussion-oriented symposium will explore implications of Nirenberg’s work through a series of roundtable conversations. Panelists will circulate short papers in advance to fellow participants and registered attendees. To register, please contact David Freidenreich (david.freidenreich@colby.edu); the event is free and all are welcome.
