1) who you are, your rank/institutional affiliation: Janice R. Levi, PhD Candidate, UCLA.
2)what research questions connected you to Klal Rhetorica: I am interested in the notion of rhetoric and how it is tethered to identity construction, maintenance, and performance.
3) what you’re working on, The history of Jewish presence in West Africa.

When Jan invited me to become a member of the Klal when it was founded I agreed because there just weren't spaces in the field where discussions about Jewish matters, well, mattered.
Dear Klal Rhetorica/H-Jewishrhetorics members:

3) what you’re working on,
4) what you hope to get from the community
5) what you can bring/contribute to it
Here's my attempt:
