SUMMARY:New Works Wednesday with Yolande Cohen and David S. Koffman
DESCRIPTION:The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nNew Works Wednesday with Yolande Cohen and David S. Koffman \nJoin us for a New Works Wednesdays with Professor Yolande Cohen and Associate Professor David Koffman discussing their new book No Better Home?: Jews\, Canada and the Sense of Belonging. \nNo Better Home? begins with an audacious question: Has there ever been a better home for Jews than Canada? By certain measures\, Canada might be the most socially welcoming\, economically secure\, and religiously tolerant country for Jews in the diaspora\, past or present. No Better Home? takes this question seriously\, while also exploring the many contested meanings of the idea of “home.” \nWednesday\, 17 November at 12:00PM EST \nContributors to the volume include leading scholars of Canadian Jewish life as well as eminent Jewish scholars writing about Canada for the first time. The essays compare Canadian Jewish life with the quality of life experienced by Jews in other countries\, examine Jewish and non-Jewish interactions in Canada\, analyse specific historical moments and literary texts\, reflect deeply personal histories\, and widen the conversation about the quality and timbre of the Canadian Jewish experience. No Better Home? foregrounds Canadian Jewish life and ponders all that the Canadian experience has to teach about Jewish modernity. \nAbout the Authors: \nYolande Cohen has been a professor of contemporary history at the University of Quebec in Montreal since 1976. Specializing in the history of women and migration\, heads the History\, Women\, Gender and Migration research group. \nDavid S. Koffman\, the J. Richard Shiff Chair for the Study of Canadian Jewry\, an Associate Professor in the Department of History\, is a cultural and social historian of modern Jewish life\, with a specialization in Canadian and U.S. Jewries. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
