11:30-18:00

A London Consortium public event

What are the historical records of hatred? Where in the archive should we look to discover the roots of contempt? Who are the protagonists of this, the haters or the hated?

Marking the publication of Anthony Julius’s major new book, Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England (Oxford University Press), this one day event brings together historians, artists and cultural critics to shed light on the challenges of documenting and accounting for histories of hatred. Speakers will explore the problems of documenting and representing histories of racism, anti-Semitism and periods of extreme cultural and political oppression and conflict.

Speakers include Anthony Julius, Anthony Bale (Medieval Studies, Birkbeck), Joanna Bourke (History, Birkbeck), Steve Connor (The London Consortium), Deborah Lipstadt (Jewish Studies, Emory University and Pratap Rughani (Media Studies, University of the Arts).
