There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Claire GreensteinClaire Greenstein, a postdoctoral fellow in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, and Elizabeth Osman, a fourth-year International Affairs student in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, have written an article titled, "Remembering Antisemitism When Public Memory Is Fleeting" in New America.
Find an excerpt:
Reports on antisemitism are important not because they act as a warning system to Jewish communities—which they generally don’t—but, rather, because they play a crucial role in shaping society’s memory culture. It may seem like the mere existence of the Holocaust ought to serve as reminder enough that antisemitism is dangerous, evil, and persistent. But public memory isn’t static. Instead, seemingly permanent narratives are constantly supplanted, reinterpreted, and reconstructed in light of current events.
The article can be found on New Amercia's website.
