Speaker: Danny Morris, Senior Research and Policy Analyst, Research Division, Community Security Trust (CST)
Danny works at the CST, an organisation that is probably known in principle to most attendees. Likewise, we are probably all aware that the Jewish community in general has faced antisemitic challenges recently, and this has spilled over into medical circles – including workplaces and medical schools. Difficult aspects of this include the lack of recognition that antisemitism is a form of racism, and the use of social media as a vehicle for it.
Danny will discuss the latest spike in antisemitism, the work CST has been doing to tackle it and offering advice and guidance on what to do if you find yourself subject to antisemitism. Danny will also explore some of the antisemitic themes and narratives that have developed in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as the subsequent vaccination programme. There will be a chance for questions and discussion at the end of the presentation.
