[Jewish] Jewish Studies update

[rrHACU at hampshire.edu]

Dear all,
I wanted to send around some updates about what "Jewish Studies" (i.e. me?) is
doing this semester:
First, we are offering a limited number of small grants for students doing upper
Divisional level work in topics related to Jewish Studies. See CORC for more
information.
Also, I am teaching two courses this semester relating to Jewish Studies/Ethnic
and Race Studies: HACU 148: Art and Exile, which is linked to our semester-long
series (more info below) and HACU 220: Imagining the Other: Blacks, Indians, and
Jews in America.
And finally, we have a wonderful series of lectures, panel discussions, and even
films planned for the spring, called "Art, Exile, Memory." See our webpage at
http://www.hampshire.edu/cms/index.php?id=7838 for more info (and it will keep
getting updated with new events and information). Andrei Codrescu, New Orleans
bard and NPR commentator and Romanian-Jewish exile will be kicking off the
series on February 9 at 7 pm in the Main Lecture Hall.
Best of luck in the new semester and please feel free to stop by or get in
touch!
Best,
