In this last episode of the 2023-24 academic year, Kenneth S. Stern, JD, Director of his alma mater Bard College's Center for the Study of Hate, leading expert on antisemitism and hate, and past speaker at Gustavus talks about his path from Brooklyn (NY) to Bard to Willamette Law School in Oregon; becoming involved in American Indian Movement co-founder Dennis Banks's thirteen-year legal case and eventually representing Banks before the United States Supreme Court in U.S. v. Loud Hawk, et al.; drafting the international "working definition of antisemitism" and criticizing what he sees as its misuse; conspiracy thinking and antisemitism; the student protests and encampments in response to Israel's ongoing retaliation in Gaza for the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023; his concerns about hate in the present moment; and some steps for countering it.
