Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Surveys as well as the increasing verbal and physical violence against Jews document a frightening increase of antisemitism worldwide. Austria and its institutions are no exception to this development. In the year 2021, the Federal Republic of Austria has therefore developed its own strategy to combat antisemitism. Based on cutting edge research, this class will ask if the Austrian strategy helps to fight antisemitism effectively and if the Austrian strategy can be improved. For this purpose, in addition to the discussion of pertinent literature, of catalogues of measures how to combat antisemitism, and projects to fight Jew hatred developed by students, decision makers will be invited to class who play a significant role in the fight against antisemitism.
