Today's Meet an SBC PGR: @MissParsisson! Georgia's research is a social history of child perpetrators of the Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda through an analysis of how the children became introduced to violence, the violence they committed and the aftermath and punishment.
Our lecturer @jennifer_creese was invited yesterday to share her broader anthropology and migration research at a special @UoLSBC international panel event. We're all about our interdisciplinary partnerships and connections across @uniofleicester here!
Thanks to all who came along, both in person and virtually, to yesterday's panel event, 'Diverse approaches in Jewish belonging, identity and safety from antisemitism in the contemporary world'! We greatly appreciate your thoughtful questions and engagement
In response to audience questions to our panel, the panelists discuss Jewish identity at both a communal level and an individual level, and how these differing contexts complicate Jewish identity and Jewish experience
@profjenthompson looks at how Jews connect with one another outside of traditional Jewish institutions. Findings suggest a particular appeal of these unconventional affiliation spaces is that there are no social barriers as to what counts as Jewish
