 Program on Extremism (PoE) will host a high-level\, day-long conference ex
 amining two of the most pressing dimensions of contemporary antisemitism. 
 The first half will feature leading scholars and civil society figures fro
 m the Middle East\, offering insights into regional trends and emerging ef
 forts to confront antisemitism within Arabic-speaking contexts. The second
  half will shift focus to the United States\, where senior government offi
 cials\, university leaders\, and legal experts will assess the rise of ant
 isemitism on college campuses and explore institutional responses\, policy
  frameworks\, and future directions.
