His work in traditional Ashkenazi Jewish musical forms led to a musical exploration of his own ethnic roots through the research\, arrangement and performance of African American folk music\, resulting in the EP Convergence (2018)\, a collaboration with klezmer consort Veretski Pass exploring the sounds and themes of one hundred years of African American and Ashkenazi Jewish music.\nInspired by an ethnographic trip to Belarus and Poland as a Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellow\, Anthony formed a duo\, Tsvey Brider (“Two Brothers”)\, with accordionist and pianist Dmitri Gaskin for the creation of new music set to modernist Yiddish poetry of the 20th century. 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. He also formed Harmonikos\, a performing collective of young composers and musicians.\nDmitri studied accordion with Josh Horowitz and Alan Bern. He lives in California with his wife and their three accordions. \n\nThe University of Washington is committed to providing access and accommodation in its services\, programs\, and activities.

SUMMARY:5/15 BOOK TALK | Wordplay in Ancient Near Eastern Texts with Professor Scott Noegel
DESCRIPTION:As part of the UW Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures‘ “Conversations With Scholars” lecture series\, this will be an all-access book talk that will be completely open for questions from attendees after a few brief introductory remarks from the author himself\, Professor Scott Noegel. \nBOOK TALK\n\n\nThe monograph offers a comparative study of the various functions that wordplay serves in ancient Near Eastern texts and provides a comprehensive classification for the phenomenon. \nLanguages covered include Sumerian\, Akkadian\, Egyptian\, Ugaritic\, biblical Hebrew\, and Aramaic. The monograph also examines definitions of “wordplay” by exploring ancient conceptions of words and the generative role of scripts (consonantal\, syllabic\, and pictographic). Also discussed are issues of terminology\, genre\, audience\, grammaticality\, interpretation\, and methodology. \nThe book further considers the distribution and preferences of these devices among the languages and discusses a number of principles and strategies that inform their creation\, such as ambiguity\, repetition and variation\, delayed comprehension\, metaphor and metonymy\, clustering\, and the use of rare words. The book concludes by suggesting potential avenues for future research. \n\n \nDownload a free copy of the book at: https://www.sbl-site.org/…/pdfs/pubs/9780884144762_OA.pdf and click on the button below to join the Zoom event on Monday\, May 15\, 2023 at 5:00 pm. \nBOOK TALK

SUMMARY:5/21 - 5/22 UW Symposium | Jews Amidst the Embers of the Ottoman Empire
DESCRIPTION:Research in the fields of Jewish\, Ottoman\, and Middle East history is often focused either on the late Ottoman period (variously defined)\, or on successor regimes (e.g. Republican Turkey\, Arab and Balkan nation-states\, British mandate Palestine or French mandate Syria). Moreover\, scholars often divide the worlds of Ottoman Jewry into two discrete zones defined by geography\, culture\, or language: the Ladino-speaking Jews of the Balkans and Anatolia\, and the Arabic-speaking Jews of the Eastern Mediterranean and parts of North Africa. Yet due to the parameters imposed by multiple (sub)fields\, language limitations\, and other factors\, these various Jewish groups–who also intersect with Greek-speaking Jews\, Neo-Aramaic-speaking Jews\, Yiddish-speaking Jews and others–are often not conceptualized within an integrated framework. \nWorking across these temporal and geographic divides reveals the legacies and afterlives of the Ottoman Empire after its demise\, continuity as well as change across space and across moments of historical rupture\, and the mechanisms by which the Ottoman Empire took on meaning as an object of memory within and in light of later political\, cultural\, and social developments. \nConference Overview\n \n

SUMMARY:5/25 WORKSHOP | 'Anglo-Saxons of the East': Armenian Self-Definition... with Ara Daglian
DESCRIPTION:‘Anglo-Saxons of the East’:\nArmenian Self-Definition in Early 20th Century America\nRegister Now >\n\nThe Stroum Center for Jewish Studies is thrilled to invite you to the second in a new series of workshops\, a lecture led by Jewish Studies Graduate Fellow Ara Daglian. Please join us to celebrate his imminent graduation and learn something new from him\, all while enjoying wine and Dingfelder’s Deli delights. Yes\, you read that right! \nIn this lecture\, Ara Daglian will share some of his research from his work-in-progress\, “Anglo-Saxons of the East”: Armenian Self-Definition in Early 20th Century America\, to which Professor Devin E. Naar of the Sephardic Studies Program will pose some initial questions before the floor opens for discussion. Read on for a brief synopsis of his forthcoming paper: \n\nThis paper focuses on an important work of Armenian-American identity — The Armenians in America by M. Vartan Malcom. While previously known as a source of statistical and quantitative information on early Armenian-American history\, the text also provided a voice to Armenian-Americans in an era where the American public knew them only through paternalistic aid campaigns and fundraiser slogans. \n\n\nTo analyze The Armenians in America as a work to redefine the Armenian-American identity\, this paper turn towards Jewish studies for inspiration. Jewish studies historiography boasts a highly developed framework for understanding how Jewish Americans redefined themselves in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, offering a useful tool for studying Armenian-Americans as well. \n\nRegister Now >\n\nCo-sponsored by UW’s Middle East Center and UW’s Armenian Student Association. \nAbout the speakers\n\n \nAra Daglian is a master’s student in the Middle East Studies program at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. Originally from Connecticut\, he received his B.A. in history from Eastern Connecticut State University before coming to the University of Washington. As a Stroum Center graduate fellow\, Ara plans to examine the complex inter-communal relations between Jews\, Arabs and Armenians residing in Jerusalem during the British Mandate era. He is a Robinovitch Family Fellow. \n\n\n\n\nDevin E. Naar is the Isaac Alhadeff Professor in Sephardic Studies\, Chair of the Sephardic Studies Program\, Associate Professor of History\, and faculty at the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. As chair\, Naar has spearheaded a project to collect\, preserve and disseminate the rich Sephardic and Ladino historical\, literary and cultural heritage. After serving as a Fulbright fellow to Greece\, his first book\, Jewish Salonica: Between the Ottoman Empire and Modern Greece\, was published by Stanford University Press in 2016. The book won the 2016 National Jewish Book Award in the category of Research Based on Archival Material and was named a finalist in Sephardic Culture. It also won the 2017 Edmund Keeley Prize for best book in Modern Greek Studies awarded by the Modern Greek Studies Association. As a fellow in the Society of Scholars at the Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington in 2013-2014\, Dr. Naar began his second book project\, Reimagining the Sephardic Diaspora. He conducts research in Judeo-Spanish\, Greek\, Hebrew and French.
