SUMMARY:Viral Harm\, Contested Definitions: Antisemitism and the Politics of Listening
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies\, ISH postdoctoral fellow Dr. Kathryn Huether will present her talk Viral Harm\, Contested Definitions: Antisemitism and the Politics of Listening\, on November 12th at Royce Hall. \nDr. Huether’s talk will examine how antisemitism is transmitted and amplified through sound on contemporary social media platforms\, situating this analysis within today’s contested debates over how antisemitism itself is defined. Moving beyond text-based definitions to examine music\, ambient audio\, and meme-driven clips\, she will show how these sonic practices blur parody and hate\, evade moderation systems\, and circulate antisemitic affect through the viral logics of digital culture. \nThis talk is being hosted by the Alan Dr. Leve Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:A Multifaith Conversation on Justice\, Forgiveness\, and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:In our deeply fractured world\, religion serves both to connect and offer wisdom and to foster conflict and division.  Over the course of centuries\, it has been frequently invoked to justify brutal violence\, but can it be an effective tool to advance justice?  To explore different perspectives on the topic of faith\, forgiveness\, and justice\, we will be joined by a distinguished panel of religious leaders: Father Greg Boyle\, Rabbi Sharon Brous\, Valarie Kaur\, and Imam Dr. Jihad Turk. \nFather Greg Boyle is a Jesuit priest and director of Homeboy Industries\, the world’s largest gang intervention and rehabilitation program. Rabbi Sharon Brous is the senior and founding Rabbi of IKAR\, a Jewish spiritual community in Los Angeles. Valarie Kaur is a civil rights leader and activist\, filmmaker\, educator\, best-selling author\, and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project\, a movement to reclaim love as a force for justice. Imam Dr. Jihad Turk is the founding President of Bayan Islamic Graduate School\, a preeminent Muslim institution of higher education. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Religion. \nRegistration here.

SUMMARY:Symposium on Sound and Hate
DESCRIPTION:This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate\, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate\, resist\, and reflect social animosities. Bringing together diverse perspectives from sound studies and related fields\, the event will deepen understanding of how sound influences\, challenges\, and shapes the dynamics of hate in society. The keynote address\, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria\,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein\, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present\, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate\, violence\, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson\, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora\, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).
