SUMMARY:An Evening with MaNishtana
DESCRIPTION:“Truth\, Justice\, and the American (Oy) Vey: The Significance of the Jewish Influence on Comic Books” \nMaNishtana is a writer and speaker whose work takes prejudice\, bias\, and ignorance head on\, relentless in the pursuit of truth by partnering with his audience to ask the questions about humanity\, race\, religion\, and social injustice that we all have… and maybe are afraid to talk about. A social activist more by chance than choice\, MaNishtana’s humorous and often irreverent voice shatters the paradigms and misconceptions of both American Jewish and African-American identity. \nBorn to two African-American Jewish parents\, MaNishtana grew up in Brooklyn\, New York\, the oldest of five siblings in a Chabad family. He graduated from Brooklyn College in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in English & Secondary Education. He has taught English Literature\, Math\, and Science in both public and Yeshiva secondary schools. \nIn 2014\, MaNishtana was part of the inaugural writing staff of Hevria\, whose mission is to be the go-to community for creative Jewish and “spiritual” people. MaNishtana is also on the Speaker’s Bureau of Bechol Lashon\, an internationally active San Francisco non-profit dedicated to celebrating racial and ethnic diversity in the Jewish community. He has created books\, films\, and video games. You can read more about MaNishtana’s biography at his official website: https://manishtana.net/biography/ \nWe thank our campus cosponsors for this event: \nDepartment of Comparative Literature\, Cinema & Media\nComparative Religion Program\, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies\nRace and Equity Initiative \n[title size=”1″ content_align=”left” style_type=”single solid” sep_color=”” class=”” id=””]Links for Further Exploration[/title] \nHere are some recent articles written by MaNishtana\, who describes his work as “100% Black. 100% Jewish. 0% Safe.” \n\nLatino Jews Respond to Trump (Tablet Magazine\, Dec. 6\, 2016)\n“You Don’t Get To Play Much with Kids Who Look Like You\, Right?” (Tablet Magazine\, Sept. 29\, 2016)\nThis is #MyJewish.

Our five new graduate fellows represent several UW departments. Each brings a unique perspective to the field of Jewish Studies and has great potential to contribute to the future of Jewish scholarship. \nThe 2013-14 Jewish Studies Graduate Fellows:\n\nEsra Bakkalbasioglu\nI.

After receiving her MFA in Creative Writing from Penn State University\, Denise lived in Warsaw\, Poland as a Fulbright scholar researching the Revival of Jewish Life throughout the country. She is now a PhD candidate in English at the University of Washington. Her project is a comparative study of Philip Roth’s novel Operation Shylock: A Confession and Yael Bartana’s film series And Europe Will Be Stunned… that examines how the satirical representations of counter-Zionist movements in both works perform and extend Hannah Arendt’s critique of the nation-state by performing the problematics not only of Jewish nationalism\, but also of nationalism (especially with regard to “The Jewish Question”) more generally.\n  \n\n\nCyrus Rodgers\nRichard M. Willner Memorial Scholarship in Jewish Studies\nIn 2011\, Cyrus began his master’s degree in the Slavic Languages and Literature Department at the University of Washington.  His main interests are Soviet literature\, film\, and visual art with special emphasis on Jewish themes in literature. Next year he will graduate with plans to complete a Master’s thesis\, which will discuss the relationship between art and Bolshevik politics at critical stages in the evolution of the Judeo-Soviet paradigm from 1917 to 1953.\n  \n\n\nSarah Zaides\nSamuel and Althea Stroum Fellowship in Jewish Studies\nSarah’s work studies the cultural and social histories of Jews in the Soviet Union\, particularly around the early years of Israeli Independence. Her current project examines the historical enigma of Arkady Raikin\, a yeshiva-educated Jewish actor who became one of the most famous satirists of the Soviet state. Her work uses the case of Raikin to engage broadly with the historiography of Soviet Jews and also employs the transnational histories of emigre communities in the United States and Israel.  After a successful year in the first class of Jewish Studies Graduate Fellows\, Sarah returns to continue her research in Jewish Studies.\n \n
