  In Roundtable Session: Power Vacuums: The Construction and Critique of Knowledge Production in the Academy (Table 38)

Abstract

This content analysis explores the prevalence of articles in ASHE, ACPA, and NASPA journals that pertain to Jewishness and/or antisemitism. This study is situated through a discussion of HebCrit, an offshoot of Critical Race Theory, as a conceptual framework. Overall findings demonstrate a significant lack of scholarship pertaining to Jewishness and/or antisemitism, as compared to other racial and religious identities. This article concludes with implications for both research and practice and argues that greater attention be paid to the experiences of Jewish communities in higher education.
