1925-1979: HOW IRAN'S JEWS FLOURISHED & HELPED IRAN PROSPER – LIVE ON ZOOM Join us as we welcome Iranian Jewish journalist and activist Karmel Melamed who will share some special historical insights into how the Jews of Iran flourished and helped advance the growth of their ancient homeland during a large part of the 20th century. From the arts to academia, international trade, industry to technology, medicine to engineering, the Jews of Iran were a critical part of Iran’s successful development for more than 50 years in the modern era. While their forced exile from Iran due to the rise of the Islamic regime devastated many of their lives, we will also look at how Iranian Jews are continuing their remarkable advancements today while living in the United States and Israel. Tickets are $10. "Click for more information and to register.” | |
GERMAN-JEWISH STUDIES: NEXT GENERATIONS – LIVE ON ZOOM As a field, German-Jewish Studies emphasizes the dangers of nationalism, monoculturalism, and ethnocentrism, while making room for multilingual and transnational perspectives with questions surrounding migration, refugees, exile, and precarity. Focusing on the relevance and utility of the field for the twenty-first century, German-Jewish Studies: Next Generations explores why studying and applying German-Jewish history and culture must evolve and be given further attention today. The volume brings together an interdisciplinary range of scholars to reconsider the history of antisemitism—as well as intersections of antisemitism with racism and colonialism—and how connections to German Jews shed light on the continuities, ruptures, anxieties, and possible futures of German-speaking Jews and their legacies.
