JCPA’s CEO Amy Spitalnick joined leading extremism expert Cynthia Miller-Idriss on the Man Up podcast to examine the rise of antisemitism and its intersection with misogyny. Together, they unpack how events like the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville reveal the ways gendered hate fuels antisemitism—and why addressing these connections is critical to confronting extremism today.

Cynthia Miller-Idriss is the Founding Director of the Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL) at American University.
