JIGSAW Fellow Joel Taubman to Speak at Co-Sponsored Brandeis Center Webinar (Sept 18)

JIGSAW Fellow and former law clerk Joel Taubman will discuss campus anti-Semitism on a webinar co-sponsored by the Brandeis Center and United Against Antisemitism Nova — September 18 at 8:00 p.m. EDT. Registration is open.

 

His presentation will include instruction on how schools can identify anti-Semitism on campus, as well as some of the tools available to fight it. Schools have a legal obligation to act when Jewish students are denied educational opportunities based on their shared ancestry and ethnic identity. But universities often misunderstand the anti-Semitic discrimination faced by Jewish students. Increasingly, Jewish students are told that they must shed the Zionist part of their Jewish identity in order to join student groups, participate in student government, and feel at home on campus.

 

Joel is a third year student at the George Washington University School of Law. As a former law clerk and current JIGSAW Fellow, Joel continues to fight for individual Jewish students.
