ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the trouble with teaching and learning about antisemitism and attempts to shed light on why some students and staff may find it hard to include Jews in their anti-racist thinking. After reviewing the experience of Jewish university students in recent decades, it introduces threshold concepts theory to some flashpoints involving Jewish students, focusing on structural racism, whiteness, intersectionality and Jewishness. In the light of these concepts, it enquires into what there is to know about antisemitism and Jews themselves that is disturbing, transformative and revealing of new ways of seeing the world. It concludes with some implications for anti-racist university teachers working under constraints.
