S4 E15: “A hostile environment” with David Hirsh
David Hirsh is an expert in antisemitism, the Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the founder of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism. He has written extensively about modern antisemitism and anti-Zionism and is responsible for coining the term, the “Livingstone Formulation”.
In this episode, David talks to us about Goldsmiths’ recently-launched antisemitism investigation, how he was smeared as a “far-right white supremacist” by its former Students’ Union President, and why it is vital for universities to adopt the International (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism.
