Co-PI | Digital Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz
The Digital Jewish Studies initiative at UCSC brings digital approaches developed for research into the classroom. Students are given the opportunity to explore Jewish history and culture with a new set of tools and develop digital literacies that prepare them for life beyond the university.
Author | Memories/Motifs
Digital Exhibit: Memories/Motifs is a digital extension of my dissertation that traces the narratives of three different Holocaust survivors in postwar America. The Holocaust stories of Kurt Meier, Irene Guttman, and “Hannah” were told multiple times in a variety of media, including radio, print, and performance. The exhibit marks the changes in narrative as each story was transformed from one media to another and highlights themes of early Holocaust survivor representations such as immigration, Americana, and children.
