SUMMARY:Laundering Antisemitism: Jews\, Identity Politics and the University with Professor Marc Dollinger
DESCRIPTION:Watch the Recording Here \nProfessor Dollinger will talk about what it’s like to be called a left-wing Jew while fighting antisemitism on a right-wing campus\, only to be called a right-wing Zionist when he fought antisemitism on a left-wing campus. Learn about two campus antisemitism fights that each reached the halls of the federal government\, made local\, national and international headlines\, and offer important insights into the role of the university\, the place of identified Jews on campus\, and the ways in which identity politics plays out in sometimes surprising ways. \n\nDR. MARC DOLLINGER holds the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies and Social Responsibility at San Francisco State University. He has served as a research fellow at Princeton University’s Center for the Study of Religion as well as the Andrew W. Mellon Post-doctoral Fellow and Lecturer in the Humanities at Bryn Mawr College\, where he coordinated the program in Jewish Studies. \nProfessor Dollinger is author of four scholarly books in American Jewish history\, most recently Black Power\, Jewish Politics: Reinventing The Alliance in the 1960s. He has published entries in the Encyclopedia Judaica\, the Encyclopedia of Antisemitism\, and the Encyclopedia of African American Education. His next project\, Laundering Antisemitism: Jews\, Identity Politics and the University traces his experiences as an identified Jewish (and Zionist) professor in the current political climate. \nDr. Dollinger is a past president of both the Jewish Community High School of the Bay and Brandeis Hillel Day School. Dr. Dollinger serves on the boards of the Jewish Community Federation and URJ Camp Newman. He sat on the California advisory committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights\, was named Volunteer of the Year by the SF Jewish Community Federation\, and was awarded the San Francisco JCRC’s Courageous Leader award. \nProfessor Dollinger has spoken about his research on CNN’s Don Lemon tonight as well as the CNN-podcast “Silence Is Not An Option\,” the NFL Network\, ESPN\, and Germany’s National Public Radio. Just for fun\, Dr. Dollinger helped actress Helen Hunt learn about her Jewish roots on the prime-time NBC show\, “Who Do You Think You Are?”
