Fighting disinformation and repression: Contesting the ADL in media & political culture
Friday, Nov. 10th
9am PT/12pm ET
Register here: bit.ly/ADLwebinar
The Anti-Defamation League is denouncing anti-war protests, amplifying disinformation on violence, and partnering with right-wing organizations on anti-hate/antisemitism policy. Using social media, it has set out to redefine major concepts like settler colonialism to exempt the US and Israel. Yet it still appears regularly in media as a source for reporting and commentary on civil rights. Join experts on media, antisemitism discourse, and terror policy for a discussion of the ADL’s role in disinformation, racial repression, and war – and on efforts to push back.
Speakers:
Mari Cohen, Assoc. Editor, Jewish Currents “Interpreting ADL’s Antisemitism Statistics”
Darryl Li, Univ. of Chicago “The ADL & Repressive ‘Terrorism’ Laws”
Barry Trachtenberg, Academic Adv. Board of JVP/Wake Forest Univ. “Counteracting the ADL’s Appropriation of Settler-Colonial Narratives”
Host: Emmaia Gelman, #DropTheADL/Sarah Lawrence College
Followed by Q&A
