The purpose of this survey is to gather attendee feedback and insights on our upcoming premium program, Inner Circle, which will help sustain Scholars Circle as a free platform.
This digital booklet aims to inform our community and its supporters about the lethal double standards used against Israel. We hope that this knowledge will empower us to fight back against those who seek to destroy us – in our time as in the past.
CONSPIRACY U BOOK
In Conspiracy U, Shay presents a case study of his alma mater, Northwestern University, in order to challenge the proliferation of anti-Zionist conspiracy theories championed on college campuses by both the far-right and far-left.
Shay tackles the thorny question of how otherwise brilliant minds willingly come to embrace and espouse such patent falsehoods. He explains why Zionism, the movement for Jewish national self-determination, has become the focal point for both far-right and far-left conspiracy theories. His keen analysis reveals why Jews serve as the canary in the coal mine.
This curriculum based on Conspiracy U: A Case Study is focused on Israel and Zionism, and will help you unpack and analyze issues across the social sciences and humanities spectrum. In these days of fake news carefully designed to appeal to our emotions in order to short circuit our reason, it is more important than ever to identify real facts and disregard well disguised falsehoods. It is also vital to be able to take note of when theories morph into ideologies and to be able to distinguish fact-based theories from conspiracy theories. We live in an age when these skills are both more necessary than ever and in very short supply. I believe that by the end of this curriculum you will be a better equipped citizen for the modern world. – Scott Shay
