SUMMARY:Baladino in Concert at SJCC
DESCRIPTION:With its members hailing from Berlin and Tel Aviv\, Baladino is a Mediterranean folk band that offers fresh\, yet deeply authentic interpretations of Sephardic and Ladino melodies and brings this tradition back into full\, fresh dialogue with its trans-Mediterranean past\, using extended technique\, subtle electronics and improvisation to dust off the predominant heavy-handed approach to Ladino music. With stunning vocals\, unexpected instruments\, and a pitch-perfect sense of arrangement\, the Israeli group melds everything from Egyptian darbuka to Armenian duduk\, from Ladino classics to rarely heard tunes\, into a sonically vibrant\, organic whole. During Baladino’s live performances\, songs often form a jumping-off point for instrumental improvisations driven by Mediterranean-Gypsy grooves\, yet embracing rock and electronic influences. \n  \n \n  \nTo purchase tickets and find out more\, please visit the Stroum Jewish Community Center online! \nSTUDENTS: Get $5 off your tickets using this promo code: UW5OFF \n  \nOrganized by the Stroum Jewish Community Center

SUMMARY:Jewish Peoplehood: An American Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Although fewer American Jews today describe themselves as religious\, they overwhelmingly report a strong sense of belonging to the Jewish people. Indeed\, Jewish peoplehood has eclipsed religion—as well as ethnicity and nationality—as the essence of what binds Jews around the globe to one another. In this exciting book launch event\, Prof. Noam Pianko will highlight the current significance and future relevance of “peoplehood” by tracing the rise\, transformation\, and return of this novel term. \nFind out more about Prof. Pianko’s book Jewish Peoplehood: An American Innovation! \nLight Kosher reception to follow book reading. Prof. Noam Pianko is the Samuel N. Stroum Chair of Jewish Studies and Associate Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies. Pianko also directs the Samuel and Althea Stroum Center for Jewish Studies and serves as the Herbert and Lucy Pruzan Professor of Jewish Studies. He received his Ph.D. in Religious Studies/Judaic Studies from Yale University in 2004 and joined the Jackson School faculty as an Assistant Professor in the fall of that year. Prof. Pianko’s research interests include modern Jewish history\, Zionism\, and American Judaism. \n

SUMMARY:A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:On August 2\, 1947 a young man gets off a train in a small Swedish town to begin his life anew. Having endured the ghetto of Lodz\, the death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau\, the slave camps and transports during the final months of Nazi Germany\, his final challenge is to survive the survival.\nJoin Göran Rosenberg as he discusses his intelligent and deeply moving book\, A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz\, in which he returns to his own childhood to tell the story of his father: walking at his side\, holding his hand\, trying to get close to him. It is also the story of the chasm between the world of the child\, permeated by the optimism\, progress\, and collective oblivion of postwar Sweden\, and the world of the father\, darkened by the long shadows of the past.\nWant to learn more about A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz? Check out Roger Cohen’s New York Times review of this award-winning book\, “Where the Road From Auschwitz Ends.”\n \n \nGöran Rosenberg  was born in Sweden in 1948 and is one of Sweden’s best known authors. In 1970 he left academia to work as a journalist for Swedish television\, radio\, and print. He is the author of several books\, including the highly acclaimed The Lost Land: A Personal History of Zionism and Messianism and The State of Israel.

SUMMARY:Graduate Fellows Spring Research Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The future of Jewish Studies scholarship will be on display at the Stroum Center’s second annual Spring Research Symposium\, featuring the 2013-14 class of Jewish Studies Graduate Fellows. Join us for two fascinating panels followed by a reception. \nFull schedule available here. \nRSVP here to reserve your spot. Last year’s symposium was completely sold out! \n\n \nSell Tickets Online through Eventbrite \n\n  \nClick here to find out more about the fellows and their diverse research interests\, which include Ottoman Turkish poetry\, Bedouins and solar energy in Israel\, Ladino newspapers\, post-Holocaust films\, and Russian-Jewish culture. \nAbout our fellowship program: The goal of the Jewish Studies Graduate Fellowship at the University of Washington is to build an intellectual community around Jewish Studies. Fellows participate in a workshop series to foster professional development and advance their research agendas. Now in its second year\, the Fellowship is coordinated by Dr. Hannah Pressman\, an affiliate faculty member of the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies. \nThanks to the generosity of our community supporters\, five outstanding graduate students received $3\,000 grants to support research related to Jewish Studies during the 2013-14 academic year. 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. Mervyn and Georgiana Gorasht Scholarship in Jewish Studies \nEsra Bakkalbasioglu is a second year PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Program on Near and Middle Eastern Studies. She completed her BA and MA degrees from the Political Science and International Relations Department of the University of Bogazici\, Turkey. She wrote her master thesis on the West Bank Wall and non-violent anti-wall movements. After completing her MA degree\, she worked for two years as the Democratization Program project coordinator\, in one of Turkey’s prominent think-tanks\, Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation. Her main areas of research interest are infrastructure-politics relations\, social movements and state-society relations in the Middle East. Currently\, she is working on the political and social impacts of solar panel fields in Israel\, Turkey and Jordan.\n  \n\n\nOscar Aguirre-Mandujano\nMickey Sreebny Memorial Scholarship in Jewish Studies\nOscar Aguirre-Mandujano is a second-year PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Program in Near and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Washington. He was born in Mexico City in 1986 and attended the National University of Mexico (UNam). In 2008 he obtained a BA degree in History\, and in 2009 he moved to the United Kingdom to read an MA degree at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London. Oscar’s dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the impact of book production in the emergence of a new court literary culture during the reign of Bayezid II (r. 1452-1512) in the Ottoman Empire. As a Jewish Studies Graduate Fellow\, Oscar focuses on an in-depth study of the original compositions of Yehuda (Leon) Behar in Ottoman Turkish\, and examines the development of the main themes in the poetic and literary work of the Jewish community of the late Ottoman Empire.\n  \n\n\nDenise Grollmus\nPhilip Bernstein Memorial Scholarship in Jewish Studies\nDenise Grollmus is an award-winning journalist and Fulbright Scholar. 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

SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah: Universal Perspectives on Holocaust Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:As the Holocaust (Shoah) is observed throughout the world this week and the UW community welcomes jurist\, memoirist and concentration camp survivor Thomas Buergenthal\, it is a fitting time to consider the contemporary commemoration of state-sponsored murder by the Nazi regime. Lawyer/Activist Reut Cohen writes: “We Israelis grow up in the shadows of the Holocaust. It’s always there and always very present. I don’t think this is necessarily bad\, but I recognize two possible educational messages that derive from this: the first is that ‘We must never let this happen to us [Jews/Israel] again and have to do everything in order to prevent it’ and the second is ‘We must never let this happen again to any other nation or people.’” Join us for a discussion about the public remembrance of genocidal events. \n*Light lunch provided* \nGuest Speaker: Reut Cohen\, New Israel Fund Civil Liberties Law Program Fellow \nRespondents: \nRabbi Oren Hayon\, Hillel UW                                                      Prof. Stephen Rosenbaum\, UW Law \n                                                            \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:2014 Stroum Lectures\, Day 2: School Photos and Their Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:2014 Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies\n“School Photos and Their Afterlives: A Comparative Jewish Perspective”\nFeaturing Dr. Marianne Hirsch (Columbia University) and Dr. Leo Spitzer (Dartmouth College)\n  \nLecture 1: School Photos in the Era of Assimilation: Jews\, Indians\, and Blacks (March 31) \nLecture 2: Framing Children: The Holocaust and After (April 2) \nPhotographs of school classes appear very early in the history of photography and are pervasive in individual and family albums throughout the world.  This year’s Stroum Lectures examine the historical\, memorial\, and aesthetic dimensions of school photographs from a comparative Jewish perspective.  The lectures explore photography’s ideological role from the 19th century through World War II\, a span of decades wherein the political climate for Jews shifted from emancipation and integration to exclusion\, persecution\, and genocide. Reflecting on the afterlives of these images in memorial and artistic installations\, the talks also suggest that school photographs can represent the possibility of resistance and subversion—even during the most challenging time in the Jewish people’s history. \n  \nThe first lecture\, focusing on class images from the 19th and early 20th century\, examines practices of assimilation that are revealed in photographs from educational establishments intended for the “civilization” of indigenous and African American children in North America and from schools attended by Jewish children in Habsburg-ruled Central Europe.  The second lecture looks at the process of exclusion of Jews in 20th-century Central Europe by way of school pictures taken in the 1920’s and ’30s\, as well as in sanctioned and clandestine schools – some\, in ghettos and camps – in the years of the Holocaust. \nDr. Marianne Hirsch and Dr. Leo Spitzer\, the 2014 Stroum Lecturers. \nThis year’s Stroum Lecturers are Dr. Marianne Hirsch\, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University\, and Dr. Leo Spitzer\, the Kathe Tappe Vernon Professor of History at Dartmouth College. Among numerous publications on the Holocaust and Jewish culture\, they have co-authored Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory (University of California Press\, 2010). \nAmong the many achievements being celebrated by UW Jewish Studies during its 40th anniversary year\, the Stroum Lectures are a source of special pride for UW Jewish Studies. Since 1976\, the Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectureship in Jewish Studies has brought the best minds of the field to speak at the University of Washington. Several of the books published from these lectures have become watershed publications in Jewish thought\, history\, and culture. View our video archive of recent Stroum Lectures\, and find out more about the Stroum Book Series at the University of Washington Press. And don’t miss this year’s Stroum Lectures\, part of our ongoing 40th anniversary series of events. \nTickets may be reserved in advance here.  \n \nSell Tickets Online through Eventbrite\n\nWe thank our cosponsors for this year’s Stroum Lectures: the Center for West European Studies\, the Department of American Ethnic Studies\, the Department of American Indian Studies\, the Department of Germanics\, the School of Art at the University of Washington\, and Education Services at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. \n \n
