Episode 4: Jewish On Campus

Antisemitism on university campus is a concern to Jewish communities around the world. Here in Australia over the past year, we have seen a rise in antisemitic rhetoric in student unions and university classrooms. At the University of Adelaide, Jewish students were laughed at and ridiculed in a student representative council meeting and at the University of Sydney, a note which read free Palestine with two Nazi swastikas was dropped in the tote bag of a Jewish student while she was in a lab. This episode ECAJ Host Alissa Foster sits down with CEO and Co-Founder of Jewish on Campus, Julia Jassey to speak about the challenges in combatting antisemitism, and the importance of amplifying the voices of Jewish students. A North American based non-for profit organisation which seeks to revive pride in Judaism by emboldening a new generation of Jews through education, social media campaigning and grassroots organising. As a movement of young Jewish people, they seek to end antisemitism on college campuses and beyond. Julia’s work has been featured in media outlets such as CNN and Forbes magazine, and in 2021 she was awarded one of Algemeiner magazines 'Top 100 people positively influencing Jewish life'.
