“Our continued funding is in recognition of all that Professor David Feldman and his colleagues have achieved in these first five years, and the important role the institute now plays in how antisemitism is identified, understood and challenged.”
The institute, based at Birkbeck, University of London, is the only centre in the UK, and one of just two in Europe, whose mission is to promote understanding of antisemitism.
Professor Feldman said he was “extremely grateful for the foundation’s vision and commitment to seeking to address the challenging issue of antisemitism through scholarly engagement.
“The new funding will enable the Pears Institute to extend its innovative research and teaching at Birkbeck and continue its inclusive approach to working with academic and non-academic partners.”
