A public seminar with Professors Gillian Frank (UVA American Studies), Rachel Kranson (Univ. of Pittsburgh), Jonathan Krasner (Brandeis), and Kathy Peiss (Univ. of Pennsylvania)

The latest issue of American Jewish History asks: What differences have Jews and Judaism made in the history of American sexuality? How has sexuality shaped the history of American Jews and Judaism?

Set the mood for your Valentine's Day weekend by joining us for a virtual conversation that will celebrate the publication of this special issue and consider all that we stand to learn by sexing American Jewish history.

UVA Jewish Studies and American Studies Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Gill Frank joins Rachel Kranson, Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Jonathan Krasner, Mandel Associate Professor at Brandeis University, and moderator Kathy Peiss, Nichols Professor at the University of Pennsylvania to discuss the newest issue of the journal, American Jewish History.

This event is co-sponsored with the journal American Jewish History, the American Jewish Historical Society, Brandeis University, and the University of Pittsburgh, and hosted by the University of Pittsburgh.
