Antisemitism
Education as Disruption Resource Guide
To effectively combat hate, we must start by unpacking its causes.
Education as disruption is an invitation to choose to be curious about what underpins hate and bias.
Why Do We Hate?
"The reasons are complex, but following are some of the factors that may play a role in helping us understand hate and, hopefully, work toward change."
- Allison Abrams, The Psychology of Hate
- Fear of "The Other"
- Fear of Ourselves
- Lack of Self-compassion
- It fills a void
- Social and Cultural Factors
Hatred has to be learned, which means it can be unlearned. University Equity and Inclusion curated these resources to help you learn about antisemitism.

Remaining silent as hate rises has consequences. We must speak up!
Hateful acts aim to intimidate and hinder our goals of an inclusive community.
We reject hatred and call on all members of our community to offer respect in words and actions toward each other, especially when we disagree — that is the difference between being in proximity and being in a community.
