Шаблон:Short description The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) is an American non-profit organization that produces academic research, seminars, and conferences to study antisemitism.

Harvard professors Alan Dershowitz and Ruth Wisse were co-chairs of ISGAP's international board. The executive committee of its International Academic Board of Advisors included former Canadian Minister of Justice Irwin Cotler and historian Irving Abella.[1] ISGAP's chairman is Natan Sharansky.[2]

History

ISGAP was founded in 2004 by Charles Asher Small from Tel Aviv University[3] as a non-profit organization to produce and support academic research, seminars, and conferences to study antisemitism.[1]

In 2006, Small and ISGAP founded the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism (YIISA), the first university-based institute dedicated to the study of antisemitism in North America, at Yale University.[4]

In August 2020, ISGAP suspended its operations for 48 hours in solidarity with African Americans during the George Floyd protests.[2]

Activities

ISGAP's flagship program is a two-week conference of more than 80 scholars of antisemitism, approximately 80% of whom are not Jewish. In 2019, the conference was held at Oxford University.[1]

In November 2023, ISGAP and the National Council of Resistance of Iran published a study entitled "The Corruption of the American Mind." The study found $13 billion in undisclosed foreign funding from Qatar and other authoritarian countries to over 100 American universities to a 300% increase in antisemitism on campuses.[5][6]
