The dilemmas of diversity: How do we show what a Jew looks like?

Earlier this year, Keith Kahn-Harris published a book called What does a Jew look like?, a collaboration with the photographer Rob Stothard. The book tries to challenge the use of stock photos of strictly orthodox Jews in the British media, by presenting portraits that capture the diversity of British Jews. But demonstrating diversity carries its own dilemmas. In this talk Keith Kahn-Harris will explore the challenges in explaining Jewish diversity to the wider world.

Keith Kahn-Harris is a writer and sociologist. He is a senior lecturer at Leo Baeck College and a Fellow of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research. What does a Jew look like? is his eighth book.
