Join us for a conversation between Sarit Kattan Gribetz and Magda Teter about writing and research about antisemitism, especially in today's world in which we see both the rise of antisemitism and its politicization. The conversation will touch upon the history of the field of antisemitism studies, current trends, and reflections on the personal and political aspects of research and writing about this topic.

She is the author and co-editor of several books, most recently, Blood Libel: On the Trail of An Antisemitic Myth (2020); Christian Supremacy: Reckoning with the Roots of Antisemitism and Racism (2023); and Blood Libels, Hostile Archives: Reclaiming Interrupted Jewish Lives (2025), as well as articles in English, Hebrew, Italian, and Polish. Teter’s research has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, HF Guggenheim Foundation, Radcliffe Institute, the Cullman Center at the NYPL, the NEH, and others.
