Who We Are
Antisemitism is rising in America. Our historical legacy of anti-Jewish hostility is resurgent in an age of grievance, conspiracy theories, and political partisanship. In order to address this danger, we must have a national conversation rooted in reliable and rigorous data alongside trusted analysis.
The Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research (NCAR) was created to meet this need — conducting original research, highlighting important scholarship, scrutinizing widely shared claims, and serving as a bridge between research and the institutions, leaders, and communities seeking evidence-based insight.
Our work serves to deepen understanding, build trust, and ensure that conversations about antisemitism are guided by rigor, transparency, and intellectual openness
Our Connection to The Nexus Project
NCAR is a dedicated research initiative of The Nexus Project — an organization that fights antisemitism, upholds democracy, and protects free speech, recognizing these tasks as deeply intertwined.
While the Nexus Project engages policymakers and communities, NCAR focuses specifically on producing and elevating the rigorous research that underpins that work.
