What are the questions that animate scholarship in Jewish Studies? What binds together the many disciplines engaged with Jewish Studies and what are the field’s boundaries?
Join Steven Weitzman, Professor of Hebrew and Semitic Languages and Literatures at UPenn, in conversation with Princeton philosopher Leora Batnitzky, for a discussion about how they compiled their new edited volume, The Princeton Companion to Jewish Studies, the questions that have informed their scholarship, and the changing face of Jewish Studies.
Lunch will be served.
