• October 30, 2025 – Antisemitism: Law, Justice, and Decolonization in a Time of Genocide

  Thursday, October 09, 2025 | By cszczepanowski

  

  As the world watches Israel’s devastating war against the Palestinian people, we are seeing a sharp rise in accusations that criticism of Israel is equivalent to antisemitism. We are pleased to welcome this panel of scholars, who are associated with the Jewish Faculty Network, as they consider the weaponization of antisemitism from a variety of angles – at a time when actual antisemitism is surging dangerously and yet going unaddressed. Join us this event: Antisemitism: Law, Justice, and Decolonization in a Time of Genocide.

  The JFN is a network of Jewish scholars from universities and colleges across Canada who are committed to addressing all forms of racism and the defence of academic freedom. At this event will be:

  Alejando I. Paz, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto – Israeli Settler-Colonialism After 1967 and the Emergence of the “New Antisemitism”

  Sheryl Nestel, Sociologist, Affiliated Scholar, New College, University of Toronto –The International Holocaust Remembrance Working Definition of Antisemitism: A Global Strategy to Silence Pro-Palestinian Speech

  Jillian Rogin, Associate Professor, University of Windsor, Faculty of Law, Criminal Defense Lawyer – Pro-Israel Advocacy and Hate Speech Legislation in Canada

  Tuesday, October 30, 2025, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm
  Plaza Building Room 600F at Brock University

  A Palestinian buffet will be provided.

• March 10, 2025 – “Letter to My Tribe” Film Screening, Q&A, and Palestinian Buffet

  Monday, February 24, 2025 | By cszczepanowski

  

  The President’s Advisory Committee on Human Rights, Equity, and Decolonization (PACHRED) invites the Brock University community to a screening of Letter to My Tribe, a video essay by award-winning filmmaker and installation artist b.h. Yael.

  The film explores the question: Why don’t more Jews and Israelis speak out about Palestine? Using personal reflections, interwoven interviews with journalists, activists, and a rabbi, and documentation of actions in the West Bank, Iraq, and Poland, Yael examines the intersections of identity, history, and political responsibility.

  Following the screening, b.h. Yael will participate in a Q&A session, offering insights into the making of the film, the themes it addresses, and the broader conversations it aims to foster.

  b.h. Yael is a Professor of Integrated Media at OCAD University and an internationally recognized filmmaker whose work explores activism, geopolitical and environmental urgencies, and social justice. Her films have been exhibited in festivals, galleries, and academic institutions worldwide.

  Monday, March 10, 2025, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm
  Sankey Chambers at Brock University

  Co-hosted by PACHRED, the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies, the Social Justice Research Institute, and the Social Justice and Equity Studies MA Program.

• March 7, 2025 – “What Ales Us?” Film Screening, Panel, Discussion, and Lunch Buffet

  Monday, February 24, 2025 | By cszczepanowski

  

  Join us for an International Women’s Day event: a film screening of What Ales Us?, followed by a panel and discussion on sexism and racism in Canada’s brewing industry. This event also includes a free lunch buffet.

  What Ales Us? is about two women (Ren Navarro and Erin Brandson) who reckon with a broken beer industry in Canada and start a movement to change it.

  Cathy van Ingen is a professor of Kinesiology at Brock University and is an independent documentary filmmaker based in the Niagara region. What Ales Us? is her first film. She will be joined by Ren Navarro and Erin Brandson for a panel and discussion after the event.

  Director Statement: As I watched the #MeToo-style reckoning unfolding in the craft beer industry, I was drawn to the stories of women, like Brienne Allen, Erin Brandson, and Ren Navarro, who began sharing experiences of sexual harassment, assault, homophobia, and racism. The stories included accusations against some of the beer world’s most acclaimed breweries. As I dug deeper into beer history, I learned that women used to dominate beer making – and I wanted to know what changed. This film explores the battle brewing in the industry and what happens to the women who speak out.

  Friday, March 7, 2025, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm
  Welch Hall Room 204 at Brock University

  Learn more about the film in The Brock News and RSVP to the event on ExperienceBU.

  Co-hosted by the President’s Advisory Committee on Human Rights, Equity, and Decolonization (PACHRED); the Sexual Violence Prevention Committee; and the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies.
