Jewish Studies Workshop with Claire Aubin: "'We see this as the Holocaust of our nation': Holocaust Narrative Appropriation and Instrumentalization in Right-Wing Social Activism"

The Yale Jewish Studies Workshop, which meets regularly throughout the fall and spring semester, features pre-circulated works-in-progress by new faculty members, visiting professors, research scholars, postdoctoral associates, and advanced doctoral students. This workshop provides an important opportunity for conversation across temporal and disciplinary boundaries within Jewish Studies. All members of the university community are warmly invited to join these workshops and learn together. Lunch is provided.
