| Description | The Stroum Center is turning 50 years old and Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi’s Zakhor isn’t far behind! Please join us for the first SCJS 50th Anniversary event of the year: A Tribute to Zakhor
Rachel B. Gross, an expert on Judaism and American Jewish history, will open the conversation by addressing Yerushalmi’s influence on the field of Jewish Studies. Then she will give an overview of how and why she uses the term “nostalgia” to bridge what Yerushalmi sees as a division between Jewish history and memory.This panel will be moderated by faculty member Nicolaas P. Barr (Comparative History of Ideas), who specializes in antisemitism, intellectual history and modern Europe. Faculty member Jason Groves (German Studies), who specializes in memory studies in the context of ecology, will share his perspective as well. |
