Andrew Goretsky, EdD will be providing a brief overview of the history of antisemitism in reference to what we are seeing today. This session will provide information about common antisemitic tropes and how they present in today’s environment. Dr. Goretsky will provide insights into disinformation and misinformation in the online environment as it relates to the proliferation of hate in all forms.
