“…As governments prepare to address the pandemic, elements of equity should be considered, including proper public communication for diverse publics to combat social stigmas (Jacobson, 2020). Crisis and acts of violence often negatively impact or specifically target under-represented social or religious groups, illustrating the persistence of race-based prejudice in the U.S. (Daniel, Fyall, & Benenson, 2019).…”

In the months since the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has overwhelmed the world, numerous popular press articles have recounted cases of mistreatment toward others rooted in traits associated with the illness. These accounts are the latest repercussion of a long running "otherness" that Western society has attributed to Asian peoples. This article draws on existing theory to better understand how social stigmas and subsequently prejudice may present additional challenges as nations grapple with restrictions on individuals' movement and move to more normal social interaction. A discussion of COVID-19 in the context of stigmatization, social identity, and social cognition theories offer a means to better understand how those impacted and stereotyped by the virus may also experience negative treatment by others.

“…Discrimination is rampant for LGBTQIA+ Jewish people and comes out in forms such as antisemitism, homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, among others. Antisemitism is, at its core, hatred or prejudice towards Jews (Beller, 2015; Levine Daniel et al, 2020) and is entrenched in U.S. history as Jewish people faced persecution during historic moments such as the Civil War (Sarna & Mendelsohn, 2010), the Civil Rights Movement (Dollinger, 2018), and others (Dinnerstein, 1994), as well as in international contexts. Antisemitic tropes—such as Jews have too much power, Jews are disloyal, Jews are greedy, the Holocaust did not happen, and others—are only some of the roots of antisemitism and have led to violence against Jewish communities (Anti-Defamation League, 2020).…”

Public administration research around Jewish communities tends to focus on Jewish associational life (Kabalo, 2009a, 2009b), philanthropy (Shaul Bar Nissim, 2019; Wertheimer, 2018), public service employment (Schnall, 1997), and antisemitism (Levine Daniel et al, 2020). Much of this research to date has focused on the individual aspects of LGBTQIA+ and Jewish identities and oppression; limited work explores the intersectionality and diversity within and among LGBTQIA+ Jewish people in public administration contexts.…”

Research on intersectionality in public administration reveals the diversity of marginalized groups and provides greater understanding of the ways intersecting identities influence inter- and intra-communal relationships. This article highlights the nuances that exist at the intersection of LGBTQIA+ and Jewish identities and how intersectionality can inform public service and engagement with minoritized populations in public and nonprofit organizations. The authors use LGBTQIA+ Jewish communities to construct four tenets of intersectionality—multiple and mutually constitutive identities, dynamic processes in managing multiple identities, discrimination within identities, and intersectional organizations—and discuss their relevance to public administration.

“…Subsequent to the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018, a group of professors teaching in a public affairs program, developed a program for the teaching about anti-semitism (Daniel et al, 2019). The program begins with teaching students to recognize oppression in the community and in legislative policies and responses related to hatred and prejudice and then asked to focus on anti-semitism.…”

Antisemitism, one of the oldest forms of prejudice and oppression is surging throughout the world. It ranges from verbal abuse to the destruction of property to murder. In the last two years, attacks against Jews in the United States were the overwhelming target of religion-based hate crimes. Stereotypes and myths continue to fuel prejudice and antisemitism in society. Factors such as anti-Israel sentiments, remarks by persons in power, the use of social media, white nationalism, and even the Covid 19 pandemic have contributed to its escalation. As a result of the increasing violence, the U.S. legislature held a hearing on confronting antisemitic terrorism with one outcome being that social workers and community advocates were needed to join law enforcement in the effort to heal and work for justice. Social work with its mandate to promote social justice and human rights and challenge oppression cannot ignore antisemitism and its impact on individuals and societies. However, the subject is basically ignored in the curriculum. This paper offers a brief history of antisemitism and presents guidelines and models for integrating it into social work programs.
