At the height of the AIDS crisis, many queer people sold their life insurance policies to investors for quick cash. This documentary charts the rise and fall of the "gay-death-profiteering" industry that grew out of their desperation. Cashing Out (2024) will be screened in its entirety, followed by a fireside chat with the documentary's director, Matt Nadel, and Professor Barbara Kolsun, Director of Cardozo Law's FAME Center. 

This interdisciplinary gathering will bring together more than 50 leading scholars from around the world for two days of rigorous, timely, and pathbreaking discussion on the legal dimensions of antisemitism.  The conference will feature over 15 panels addressing topics including the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, conceptual and legal approaches to defining antisemitism, international law and human rights, political violence, freedom of speech, new initiatives to combat Jew-hatred, historical perspectives on antisemitism and the law, comparative approaches, antisemitism online, education, and empirical research.  The conference is chaired by Professor Rona Kaufman, with a distinguished steering committee comprised of Professors Rob Katz, Ruthy Lowenstein, Andrea J. Martin, Seth Oranburg, Suzanne Stone, and Zalman Rothschild. Registration is required
