LOCATION:Canada
SUMMARY:Legal Studies Seminar - Defending Jews from the Definition of\nAnti
 semitism
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:This article\, forthcoming in _UCLA Law Review_\, examines the
  legal\ndebate surrounding antisemitism in the context of Israel criticism
 \,\nchallenging definitions that equate such criticism with antisemitic\ns
 peech. It argues that current legal definitions impose a narrow\,\nZionist
 -centric view of Jewish identity\, harming both Palestinian\nadvocacy and 
 Jewish pluralism. Jewish identity is inherently diverse\nand contested\, w
 ith this ongoing debate viewed as a vital feature of\nJewish tradition.\n\
 nThe article traces the evolution of antisemitism's legal definition\,\nfo
 cusing on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)\nworking
  definition. To counter the harms of this definition\,\nthe article propo
 ses a novel legal framework\, arguing that\ncriticizing Israel can be an e
 xercise of religious freedom for many\nAmerican Jews and that antidiscrimi
 nation laws should protect Jews\ntargeted for their political positions.\n
 \nReinterpreting U.S. constitutional protections to safeguard the\nplurali
 ty of Jewish identities offers a new understanding of religious\nliberty t
 hat allows Jewish communities—and potentially\nother groups—to determ
 ine how religion and politics intertwine in\ntheir identities.  \n\nABOUT
  THE SEMINAR SERIES:\n\nThe Joint Legal Studies Seminar Series features bi
 annual seminars\nshowcasing a range of legal studies scholarship.  The se
 ries is\nhosted by the Departments of Sociology and Legal Studies at the\n
 University of Waterloo and St. Jerome's University.
