Professor Katz Presents on Law and Antisemitism during Spring Events
05/15/2025
IU McKinney Professor Robert Katz presented on the law and antisemitism during spring 2025 at two different events.
First, Professor Katz led a workshop on teaching law and antisemitism and gave a presentation on "Jews, Racial Anxiety, and Anti-Discrimination Law" at the fourth annual Law vs. Antisemitism Conference, which took place March 23 and 24, at UCLA School of Law. Second, he spoke about law and antisemitism at Gratz College for Jewish Studies in Philadelphia on April 22 as part of an event that commemorated Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) and inaugurated Gratz's Ph.D. program in antisemitism studies, the world's first.
Professor Katz’s casebook, Antisemitism and the Law, is the first casebook on the subject. It is scheduled to be published by Carolina Academic Press in July. The book will be a resource for understanding the legal history of antisemitism and legal strategies to combat it. It explores how legal systems have been wielded both to oppress Jews and to fight antisemitism, offering a global and historical perspective on the intersection of law and antisemitism. He will teach a course, Antisemitism and the Law, in fall 2025 at IU McKinney. The course is full and has a waiting list.
