The Annual Robert Fine Memorial Lecture
Robert Fine was a Professor of Sociology at Warwick University for many years. He wrote on Marxism, the anti-apartheid movement, Hegel, Marx and Arendt, social theory and cosmopolitanism; and, with Philip Spencer, on antisemitism. He was a key mentor to some of us and is an inspiration to those of us building the London Centre. Read more about Robert here:
The cover image on this page is detail from this work, by Mina Kupfermann, called ‘Witness’. Standing at nearly three metres tall, from a distance it depicts a catastrophic event; a single eruption of antisemitism through time. Upon closer inspection, hidden in the artwork are hundreds of pieces of antisemitic social media material from many different sources.
