Yale University Creates Center to Study Antisemitism

New Haven, Conn. — Yale has just established the first university-based institute in North America dedicated to the study of antisemitism.

The new center, the Yale Initiative for Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism, will be directed by Charles Small and based at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS), 77 Prospect St.

“As an institute that has a long-standing commitment to the scholarly exploration of inter-group conflict, ISPS takes special pride in hosting the first center in North America devoted to the study of antisemitism,” says Donald Green, director of ISPS and the A. Whitney Griswold Professor of Political Science at Yale. “The interdisciplinary scope of the topic and magnitude of the policy questions it raises are sure to attract top scholars and generate valuable discussion and research.”
