March 8: The Meaning(s) of Yiddish
CBI Social Hall, in person and on livestream 
Led by Justin Cammy. 

What are the various assumptions about Yiddish at the contemporary moment, and why has Yiddish become as much a symbol for unrealized desires as it is a spoken language?

Justin Cammey is Associate Dean of Faculty and Professor of Jewish Studies and Comparative Literature at Smith College. A specialist in Yiddish literature, he is co-author (along with his wife Rachel Rubinstein) of the forthcoming Cambridge History of Yiddish Literature.
