SUMMARY:2/2 STUDENT EVENT | Ancient Perspectives on Same-Sex Relationships
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: DATE CHANGE! \nHow has the story of Sodom and Gomorrah as related in the Qur’an and Hebrew Bible shaped the ways Jews\, Muslims and Christians thought and continue to think about same sex relationships? \nJoin Stroum Center Cole Fellow Brendan Goldman to explore this question through close readings of the story in the Qur’an and Hebrew Bible. We will examine how premodern and current interpretations  of this story have shaped conceptions of homosexuality and the boundaries of acceptable sexual behaviors. \nGoldman will teach Queer Premodernity (JEW ST 489/HSTCMP 490) in Spring 2021\, so this is a great opportunity to experience his teaching style and subject matter. \nOpen to undergrads and graduate students only. \nRSVP for Zoom link.

SUMMARY:12/8 STUDENT EVENT | Narrating Migration Stories: Podcasting Sephardic Jewish Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Scholar and co-creator of the well-known Ottoman History Podcast Chris Gratien and retired journalist Sam Negri discuss their approach to telling the stories of marginalized migrants to the United States\, focusing on the story of Negri’s father\, Sephardic Jew Leo Negri\, who came to the United States undocumented in the early 1900s along with thousands of other Sephardim (Jews expelled from modern-day Spain in 1492 who sought refuge throughout the Ottoman Empire). \nWatch the conversation now:\n \nAbout this talk\nIn the early twentieth century\, tens of thousands of Sephardic Jews migrated to the United States from the borders of the collapsing Ottoman Empire. In addition to navigating inter-Jewish communal relationships with fellow Ashkenazi Jews\, Sephardic Jews were also subject to racially biased immigration quotas that were becoming ever more restrictive during the 1920s. \nFalsified papers were often the only way for many Sepharadim to gain entry to the United States — a route taken by Istanbul-born Leo Negri\, whose fraudulent passport listed his country of origin as Cuba. \nHow can the podcast medium be leveraged to share the complex stories of Ottoman migrants to the United States? How can Negri’s story help us understand the stories of thousands of other Ottoman migrants like him\, many of whom faced deportation threats and racism in their new American neighborhoods? \nJoin Chris Gratien\, Assistant Professor of History\, University of Virginia\, co-creator of the Ottoman History Podcast\, and Sam Negri\, a retired journalist and Leo Negri’s son\, for a conversation about this understudied moment in Jewish\, Ottoman\, and American history. \nAbout the speakers\nChris Gratien is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Virginia. He teaches courses on environmental history and the modern Middle East\, with a research focus on the late Ottoman Empire. He is the co-creator of the Ottoman History Podcast and recently contributed a chapter to “Sephardic Trajectories: Archives\, Objects\, and the Ottoman Jewish Past in the United States” (Koç University Press\, 2021) that was co-authored with Sam Negri. \n Sam Negri is a retired journalist based in Arizona. His articles have appeared in the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, and numerous other publications. His father\, Leo Negri\, was an Istanbul-born Jew who immigrated to the United States in the early twentieth century. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:2/8 EVENT | The Detention of Uyghur Muslims in China
DESCRIPTION:In this event\, UW alum Darren Byler\, Ph.D.\, will draw on his research\, fieldwork\, and first-hand experiences to explain the scope and impact of China’s detainment of Uyghur Muslims in forced labor camps\, in conversation with UW Professor Emerita Sandra Silberstein. \nAbout the speakers\n\nDarren Byler is Assistant Professor of International Studies at Simon Fraser University.

SUMMARY:4/19 | FREE FOOD! A "Grub n' gab" with Stroum Center leadership
DESCRIPTION:Register Now >\n \nCurious about Jewish Studies? Anytime from 11 AM — 1 PM on Wednesday\, April 19\, stop by the Microsoft Cafe on campus to learn more about the Stroum Center from our own leaders: Director Mika Ahuvia\,  and Interim Associate Director Brendan Goldman\, who also serves as Program Manager. Plus\, free food and drinks will be provided! This casual setting is a great way to: \n• Explore the Stroum Center programs you may be curious about \n• Get your questions answered on-the-spot \n• Meet other undergraduate students with common interests or backgrounds \n• Fuel up (coffee\, please!) while talking with an engaging duo \n• Get to know Mika and Brendan on a more personal level \nSo if you think you might come by\, feel free to register here! Mika and Brendan look forward to meeting with students\, both current and new. \nAbout the leaders\nMika Ahuvia researches the formative history of Jewish and Christian communities in the ancient Mediterranean world. Specializing in Late Antique Jewish history\, she works with rabbinic sources\, liturgical poetry\, magical texts\, early mystical literature\, and archaeological evidence. \nHer  book\, “On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture\,” investigates conceptions of angels in foundational Jewish texts and ritual sources\, and uncovers how angels made their way into the practices and worldview of ancient Jews. As the Herbert L. and Lucia S. Pruzan Chair in Jewish Studies\, Ahuvia teaches courses in Jewish Studies\, comparative religion\, and global studies in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. She is also the Director of the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies. \n\nBrendan Goldman came to the Stroum Center from Princeton University\, where he was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Program in Judaic Studies\, in addition to coordinating the Comparative Diplomatics Workshop and teaching at Northern State Prison in Newark\, New Jersey. He received his Ph.D. in history from The Johns Hopkins University in 2018\, and now serves as the Stroum Center’s Interim Associate Director and Program Manager. \nHis first book\, “Camps of the Uncircumcised: The Cairo Geniza and Jewish Life in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem\,” is under contract with University of Pennsylvania Press and will be published in 2021. His second book project\, tentatively titled “A Disciplinary Society: Medieval Prisons through Jewish Eyes\, 1000-1300\,” examines how documents found in the Cairo Geniza\, a synagogue storehouse preserving more than 40\,000 medieval writings\, can illuminate the ways in which state violence shaped the lives of everyday people during the Middle Ages. \nThe University of Washington is committed to providing access and accommodation in its services\, programs\, and activities. To make a request connected to a disability or health condition contact Grace Dy at (206) 543-0138 or jewishst@uw.edu at least 10 days before the event.

Their new album\, Kosmopolitn\, is set for release this August on the Borscht Beat label.\nA Hadar Rising Song Fellow (2021-22)\, Anthony is also an essayist on music and culture in a number of publications including Jewish Currents and Moment Magazine.  Anthony lives in Atlanta\, GA with his husband of seven years\, Rabbi Michael Rothbaum. \n\nDmitri Gaskin is an accomplished accordion player\, composer\, and arranger specializing in Klezmer and Romanian folk music. He performs with several Klezmer bands throughout California\, most notably with Saul Goodman’s Klezmer Band. Dmitri has also performed and taught at several music festivals\, including KlezKalifornia.\nOutside of klezmer music\, Dmitri won the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award for a contemporary classical composition.
