This summer, Nicholas Belotto (History) and Cory Laub (English) will attend the Holocaust and Human Behavior for Educators in Jewish Settings seminar in Brookline, MA. The five-day workshop examines the factors that led to the rise of Nazi Germany and the persecution of Jews and other targeted groups during the Holocaust, and allows participants to investigate Jewish identity and the impact of individuals on the world. The workshop is sponsored by Facing History and Ourselves.
In mid-July, Miriam Taub (Jewish Studies), Cheyenne Oliver (History), and Eugene Davis (English) will attend the 2016 Great Jewish Books Teacher Workshop at the Yiddish Book Center, in Amherst, Massachusetts. During the week-long seminar, they will be exposed to new approaches to teaching modern Jewish literature and culture, while working with other committed educators and top scholars from across the country. The program is funded by the Jim Joseph Foundation.
