2019 Jonathan Safran Foer Virtual Classroom Visit

 

Dear H-JewishRhetorics Members,

Please see the letter below for information on the 2019 Jonathan Safran Foer Virtual Classroom Visit, a webinar event where Foer discusses issues in environmental, animal, and food ethics in relation to his Jewish identity and heritage. Many members of this list have taken part with their students or organizations in the past, and it would be great to have even more participation in 2019. Please get in touch with any questions, and thank you for your consideration.

Re: Introductions!!!

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.

4) what you hope to get from the community: At this stage, I think learning more about the role of rhetoric in Judaism, recommended reading, and theorizing is instructive.

Re: Introductions!!!

Thanks for starting us off, Jan. To (re-)introduce myself to the Klal, my name's Michael Bernard-Donals, and I'm a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I teach in the rhetoric program and currently serving as the Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff. 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.
