Brown Bag Conversations Lecture Series
(Lectures/Talks)
Title: The Nature of Prejudice: Thoughts of a Gay, German-American, Jewish Professor
Speaker: Douglas Klahr, Architecture
How does prejudice work? What allows Jews, themselves the victims of prejudice, to feel justified in discriminating against gays? As a gay man born into a Jewish New York family that was traumatized by the Holocaust, the Jewish homophobia that I have experienced raises these questions. In this talk I will use my multiple identities as a springboard to examine the roots of prejudice, which at base reduces complex human beings to one-dimensional stereotypes.
