Candid Conversations: Exploring Antisemitism with Phumi Mashigo and David Hirsh

Is Antisemitism a thing that is confined to few ultra right crazies? Is Antizionism a rising form of discrimination? How are these two words, their meanings and the people they describe shaping the way politics is evolving or devolving? Phumi Mashigo gets into these questions, and more with Founder of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, David Hirsh. About David Hirsh: David Hirsh has pioneered a sociological account of contemporary antizionism and its relationship to antisemitism. He has worked on crimes against humanity, totalitarianism, democracy and populism. He teaches core Sociology, Criminology, Crimes against Humanity and Human Rights courses at UG and MA level as a senior lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London.
