September 29th Event with NYU

“Hadar Makov: Gender and Nation

in Novels by Israeli Women, 1948-1966”

The Jewish Feminist Research Group is cordially invited to participate in a dissertation reading and workshop hosted by New York University's Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies. This workshop will feature the dissertation research of Hadar Makov, a Ph.D. candidate in Modern Hebrew Literature at NYU. The goal of this gathering is to provide constructive feedback and new perspectives to Hadar at this stage in her research and writing process.

DATE:
Friday, September 29th
10 a.m.-12 p.m.

LOCATION:
King Juan Carlos Center
(53 Washington Square South)
Room 109

TOPIC:
Hadar's dissertation deals with representations of gender and nation in the
first novels written by Israeli women, 1948-1966. More than twenty novels published by this generation of female interwar novelists suggest a subversive construction of national identity that often challenges the Zionist narrative.

RSVP:
For space considerations, we would like to know if you're planning to attend! To RSVP, please send an e-mail to hannahpressman@gmail.com. An excerpt of Hadar's project will be circulated in advance to those who have RSVPed.

Light refreshments will be served. We look forward to seeing you!
