Lessons from the New “Jews of Color Study.”

Prof. Bruce Haynes speaks about the lived experiences - now and historically - of Jews of Color (JOC) and situates the issue in the context of racialization and race thinking. Prof. Bruce Phillips presents the 10,000 feet view, using the Pew 2013 & 2020, and other studies, and investigating the questions these studies used to identify JOC. From there, the conversation unfolds.
