Presented by: Stephanie Pridgeon
Tuesday, April 17, 2018
Judaica Suite, 5:00 p.m.

Pridgeon, a graduate of Emory University, currently teaches at Bates College in Maine. Her broader research addresses literary and cinematographic examinations of memory, commemoration, representation, and identity construction in conjunction with the study of Jewish-non-Jewish relations in South America. In Gainesville, during her tenure as a fellow, she expands her dissertation research on cinematographic representations of Jewish engagements with South American revolutionary movements. She examines the dynamics of political participation and cultural belonging as crucial coordinates of the South American Jewish experience in the second half of the twentieth century. Her fellowship supports the completion of her manuscript Jews on Screen and in Revolt.

This event is part of the Jews in the Americas Speaker Series.
