Mount Holyoke will offer a monthly series focused on educating and building allies by providing support for fighting antisemitism at Mount Holyoke and beyond. Launched in January 2021, during our Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King Week of Racial Justice and Reconciliation - Launching on January 31, our 2022 teach-in will be an immersive experience throughout the spring semester involving a multitude of public lectures, dialogues, and film screenings. Each year we delve deeply into understanding the history of judeophobia and antisemitism, its connections to racism and provide specific resources for everyone to combat everyday antisemitism in our work towards becoming an anti-racist community. This resource page provides links to videos, readings and resource guides for education.
