I am an instructional technology fellow for Professor Friedlander’s Seminar II class, and in that capacity I am here to help to seamlessly integrate technology into our course.
I am a doctoral candidate in modern European history. I am writing a dissertation about Jews in Algeria and Jews in France in the 1950s and 1960s. The Algerian War for decolonization was an important time for Jews in both places to reflect on what it meant to be a minority inside France. Trying to come together as a community for the first time, Jews were very diverse–many were atheists, others were religious; some Zionist, others did not know of Israel’s existence. The challenge of my project is to capture the diverse views and to fairly represent the individuals who held those views.
