Into reimagining Jewish education...and live near Ann Arbor, MI? Very excited about this lineup, especially presenting with artist Hillel Smith & Yiddish singer Anthony Tzvi Russell in a program exploring how art can challenge cultural assumptions. Free! ssw.umich.edu/assets/rsvp-re…
In advance of my book release tomorrow (squee!) here's a piece for JBC where I spill the beans on how researching this book was a feminist project. jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-dai…

Here's a random titbit you didn't know you needed to know: Jews used to write catechisms. All the time. So glad to see article on Jewish catechisms finally out in print - a piece that I started way back back in graduate school: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/8…

Thrilled to announce I was awarded an NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant for 2022-2023!
Please RT - we're looking for humanities researchers NOT in ling (and ideally, not at R1s) to join our advisory panel! (see deets below):
Betsy Sneller, Assistant Professor in @MSULiLaC, was awarded a @NEHgov grant to develop an open-source code to create a self-recording mobile app, which will be critical for researchers who work with spoken data. Read more: cal.msu.edu/news/neh-grant-t…

"Through the diary app, we see viewers engaging in more personal processes of speculation." In their new post, @LauraYares and Sharon Avni discuss how they adapted their ethnographic work about Jewish cultural experiences in light of the COVID-19 pandemic: sigla.georgetown.domains/dig…
This article is way long, but skip down to the last page for a sneak preview of some of the research that Sharon Avni and I have been doing on what viewers learn from watching Shtisel
