Anti-Semitism, Intersectionality, and Wokeness | Emma Milner-Gorvine | TEDxEarlhamCollege

Emma’s TEDx talk addresses antisemitism in a modern context as it manifests, or doesn't, on college campuses and in political spaces. Emma Milner-Gorvine is finishing her junior year at Earlham College with a degree in Spanish and Hispanic Studies and a double minor in Jewish Studies and TESOL. While her Jewish Studies minor has greatly impacted her Earlham experience and has taught her a lot about Judaism, especially in the United States, she does not believe that is the main thing that makes her qualified to speak on antisemitism. She thinks that being a Jewish student at a small liberal arts college, having navigated both the Jewish community outside of and at Earlham, as well as being Jewish in a non-Jewish world is what makes her qualified. She has both done the research, and also lived the experience. She has experienced antisemitism from the left and right and wants to share those experiences with others so we can all work towards a better world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
