Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, modern European Jewish history, and the history of human rights. He edited A
Research Guide to Materials on the History of Russian Jewry (19th and Early 20th Centuries) (Moscow, 1994) and is
author of Beyond the Pale: The Jewish Encounter With Late Imperial Russia (Berkeley, 2002), which won the Koret Prize
in Jewish History, the Vucinich Prize in Russian, Eurasian and East European Studies, the Lincoln Prize in Russian History

Deportation of Armenians from Kharbert, 1915
In March, 2015, the Roth Institute co-organized a major international conference on the topic of “Jewish Rights, Minority Rights and Human Rights” in cooperation with the Minerva Center for Human Rights at TAU’s Law School and the Israeli Inter-University Academic Partnership for Russian and East European Studies.
The two-day program brought together leading scholars of international law, European history, Jewish history and Israeli society to discuss many of the historical, legal and contemporary aspects of the various connections between Jews
and rights over the past hundred years.
In addition to a keynote address by Prof. Samuel Moyn of Harvard University, conference participants included Profs. Carole Fink of The Ohio State University, Prof. William Forbath of the University of Texas, Austin’s law school, Prof. James Loeffler of the University of Virginia and Prof. Benjamin Nathans of the University of Pennsylvania alongside speakers from different Israeli universities and institutions.
The program also included several panels that attempted to bridge the gap between the academic
and public realms by offering representatives from a variety of institutions and organizations in Israel the opportunity to present and discuss their experiences in light of historical and legal scholarship on these questions.

CONVERSION: BETWEEN ANTISEMITISM AND PHILOSEMITISMINTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP, NOVEMBER 2014
In November, 2014, the Roth Institute hosted an international workshop on “Conversion: Between Antisemitism and Philosemitism” in cooperation with the ICORE Center for Conversion and Inter-Religious Encounters at Ben Gurion University.
The two-day program began with a keynote address by Prof. David Nirenberg of the University of Chicago on “Christian Media, Anti-Judaism and the Art of Conversion.” Based on his award-winning book Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition, Prof. Nirenberg’s presentation laid the foundations for two days of
discussions regarding the many connections between Jews and conversion. In addition to lectures on Jewish-Christian relations in medieval Europe, speakers also addressed attempts to convert Jews in the colonial world as well as debates regarding conversion in contemporary Israeli society.

THE ZEEV VERED PROJECT ON TOLERANCE AND INTOLERANCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Over the course of the 2014-2015 academic year, TAU’s Zeev Vered Project for the Study of Tolerance and Intolerance in the Middle East continued its important work of monitoring Arab-language media for expressions and manifestations of anti-Semitic attitudes and opinions.
Under the direction of Dr. Esther (Esti) Webman, one of the world’s leading experts in the field, the dedicated staff of the Vered Project identify, catalogue and analyze a wide range of print, visual and social media sources from across the Arab world.
These items are then summarized in English and entered into TAU’s Database on Antisemitism and Racism, where they are available and accessible to scholars, students and community members via TAU’s library system.
THE ROTH INSTITUTE RESEARCH GROUP ON ANTISEMITISM AND RACISM
Over the 2014-2015 academic year, the Roth Institute hosted a year-long Research Group on Antisemitism and Racism for eight graduate students and post-doctoral scholars studying various aspects of antisemitism and racism.
In addition to receiving research grants, group members took part in monthly seminars, met with visiting scholars from leading universities in Israel and abroad, and received critical support and feedback on their research.
Alongside graduate students from the departments of Anthropology, Cultural Studies, General History, Jewish History, Middle Eastern Studies and Psychology, the 2014-2015 Research Group also included two post-doctoral fellows specializing in modern history, Dr. Raz Segal and Dr. Amir Teicher.
Our congratulations to Dr. Segal and Dr. Teicher, both of whom recently received new faculty positions, Segal at Stockton University in New Jersey and Teicher at Tel Aviv University’s Department of History.
