We appreciate your hard work, enthusiasm, and creative ideas. 4 Sunday, April 10 Welcome Ruth von Bernuth Since 2008, Ruth von Bernuth has taught Medieval and early modern German and Yiddish literature and culture in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures at UNC Chapel Hill, where she is also the Director of the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies. For a research project on Yiddish literature she was awarded a visiting fellowship in Jewish Studies from Yad Hanadiv and Beracha Foundation in Israel in 2011-2012. She has published on folly literature, Old Yiddish literature and conversion narratives, and she is author of Wunder, Spott und Prophetie: Natürliche Narrheit in den “Historien von Claus Narren” (2009). Her current book project, How the Wise Men Got to Chelm: The Life and Times of a Yiddish Folk Tradition, examines the multiple ways in which the Jewish story tradition of the “Wise Men of Chelm” came into being, and it will be published in Fall 2016. Panel 1: The Origins of Anti-Judaism Bart Ehrman: From the Jewish Jesus to the Anti-Jewish Church This paper will discuss the roots of antisemitism in the earliest Christian communities by highlighting one of the great ironies of ancient religion: even though Jesus and his followers were thoroughly Jewish, in every way, within a hundred years of his death the Christian church had by and large turned against the Jews. Second century Christians not only claimed that they, not the Jews, were the true people of (the Jewish) God; they also advocated a message that attacked Jews and maligned their religion. It was this radical departure from the message and mission of Jesus that eventually led to the ugly history of anti-Jewish legislation and persecution. Bart D. Ehrman is the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor at UNC Chapel Hill in the Department of Religious Studies. He holds a Ph.D. and a M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary (1985) and a B.A. from Wheaton College. Ehrman’s research interests include New Testament Studies, early Christian apocrypha, apostolic fathers, Historical Jesus and the history of Early Christianity. His research focuses on the New Testament and the early Christian movement from Jesus to Constantine from a historical perspective. His most recent popular book is called How Jesus Became God (2014). Ehrman is currently working on a second edition of his 1999 reader of second and third century primary texts, After the New Testament (2014). Future research projects include books on the rise of anti-Judaism in early Christianity, a survey of Christianity in the second and third centuries and the role that “memory” played in the transmission of stories about Jesus in the early decades after his death. Sara Lipton: What's in a Nose? On the Origins, Evolution, and Implications of the Antisemitic Caricature In this paper I discuss the context and inspirations for the assignment to Jews of a characteristic physiognomy in medieval Christian art and thought. I then explore the transmission of the caricatured Jew's face into the modern period and consider its implications and effects. Sara Lipton is a Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She received a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from Yale University in 1992. She is the author of Images of Intolerance: The Representation of Jews and Judaism in the Bible moralisée (University of California Press, 1999), which won the John Nicholas Brown Prize for Best First Book by the Medieval Academy of America, and most recently, Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Jewish Iconography (Henry Holt/Metropolitan Books, 2014), 5 which won the Jordan Schnitzer Award of the Association for Jewish Studies. Lipton’s writing has also appeared in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Review of Books, and The Huffington Post. She has held fellowships from the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers of the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Oxford University, and has been a visiting scholar at Tel Aviv University and Oxford University.

    RECLAIMING THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE: RACIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL, 1951-2018 Charlotte Fryar A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Seth Kotch Rachel Seidman Altha Cravey Timothy Marr Daniel Anderson © 2019 Charlotte Fryar ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Charlotte Fryar: Reclaiming the University of the People: Racial Justice Movements at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1951-2018 (Under the direction of Seth Kotch) This dissertation examines how Black students and workers engaged in movements for racial justice at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1951 to 2018 challenged the University’s dominant cultural landscape of white supremacy—a landscape in direct conflict with the University’s mission to be a public university in service to all citizens of North Carolina. Beginning with the University’s legal desegregation, this dissertation tells the history of Black students’ and workers’ resistance to institutional anti-Blackness, demonstrating how the University consistently sought to exclude Black identities and diminish any movement that challenged its white supremacy. Activated by the knowledge of the University’s history as a site of enslavement and as an institution which maintained and fortified white supremacy and segregation across North Carolina, Black students and workers protested the ways in which the University reflects and enacts systemic racial inequities within its institutional and campus landscapes.
