The Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity Presents the Contemporary Antisemitism Series:

"Antisemitism and Racism: A Shared History"

featuring Magda Teter (Fordham University)

Monday, March 4, 2024

3:00-4:30 PM 

Online via Zoom

Abstract:

In 2017 in Charlottesville, antisemitism and anti-Black racism converged as white supremacists, in a highly choreographed and violent protest against the removal of a statue honoring a Confederate general, carried Confederate flags and chanted “Jews will not replace us.” This convergence is not just a product of American history, its roots go far deeper.  In this talk, Magda Teter, the author of Christian Supremacy: Reckoning with the Roots of Antisemitism and Racism, will explore the interplay between Christian theology and law to demonstrate how the theological framework of Christian supersessionism articulated in antiquity and its subsequent application in law led to the creation of social hierarchies, legal exclusion of and a denial of equality to Jews and Black people also in modern times.

This lecture series is supported by the Azrieli Foundation.

Description:

Local celebrations on the territory of Xanthos in the late Hellenistic period. The work of the Canadian epigraphic mission to Xanthos-Letoon

From 2000 to 2010, the Canadian epigraphic mission of Xanthos-Letoon worked on collecting and studying the Greek and Latin inscriptions of the two sites in Lycia, Turkey, and publishing the results in print and online. Though the Turkish government suspended field work in 2011, research has continued into the documents themselves. This paper begins with a brief overview of the mission, both during the 10 years devoted to field work and since this was suspended. The emphasis is on the nature of the field work carried out by epigraphists, as well as the use of 3D technologies for epigraphical research. We then turn to a particularly illuminating case. Survey work in 2009 on the site of Aklar, a village of the Xanthian eschatiai on the mountainous borders of the territory of Xanthos, led to the discovery of two similar inscriptions. The nearly 180 lines, once deciphered (a challenge in itself), present the regularly-structured list of contributors to an unnamed annual religious celebration. Drawing on Lycian parallels, notably from Phellos, we address a number of key questions, such as the status of the anonymous kōmē on the territory of Xanthos during the Hellenistic period, the nature of local cultic celebrations far from the urban center, and the validity of archaeologist F. Işık's initial interpretation of the site of Aklar.

Astronomy on Tap is continuing in Kingston at the Living Room at The Mansion, with its second debate-style event.

Astronomy on Tap is a series of worldwide events where professional astronomers give informal talks at a local bar on topics of a broad interest in astronomy and astrophysics. This particular event will be a bit different than in the past – we will host two fantastic scientists: an astronomer & a geologist: Gregg Wade and Chris Spencer who will go head-to-head in a debate over the sun vs moon in preparation for the April 8th total solar eclipse. The event will be hosted by local astro-buff, Mark Richardson. There will be time for questions and discussion, and the speakers and other local scientists will mingle with the audience between and after the talks, providing lots of opportunities to chat with some keen astronomers. There will also be a trivia session with questions related to astronomy with prizes given out to the winners!

The event is free and open to all ages. The Mansion serves alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks, and food will be available to be ordered.

Astronomy on Tap will be upstairs as you come inside.

Space is limited, so we encourage you to arrive on time! Pre-show starts at 6:30pm, with the main event starting at 7pm.

Dr. Farrelly is the Sir Edward Peacock Professor of Political Theory in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University.
