SUMMARY:"The EU and its Working Definition of Anti-Semitism"
DESCRIPTION:
 Presenter:  R. Amy Elman, Department of Political 
 Science, Kalamazoo College\n
 \n
 In 2005, the 
 European Union appeared to have adopted a definition 
 of anti-Semitism because, two years 
 prior, the EU claimed that it had trouble monitoring 
 the prejudice without one. This lecture 
 examines the EU and its politics surrounding 
 anti-Semitism and the definition it never 
 formally adopted. \n
 \n
 R. Amy Elman is Professor 
 of Political Science and the William Weber 
 Chair of Social Science at Kalamazoo College 
 in Michigan. Her book, "The European Union, 
 Antisemitism and the Politics of Denial" (University 
 of Nebraska Press, 2015), explores the 
 conditions that precipitated the EU's efforts 
 to stem anti-Semitism and the consequences. 
 Copies of her book will be available for sale 
 at the lecture. Professor Elman has additionally 
 been published on issues such as the 
 response of states and the European Union to 
 citizenship, migration, sex discrimination, and 
 anti-Semitism.  Co-sponsored with James Madison 
 College, Peace and Justice Studies, and 
 the Center for European, Russian, and Eurasian 
 Studies.\n
