The Jewish Studies Alumni Series hosts former UVA Jewish Studies graduate students and fellows for a discussion of their postgraduate research and scholarship. This series hopes to connect Jewish Studies alumni with current fellows to inspire their own research, as well as strengthen the relationships between alumni and the program.

The inaugural Jewish Studies Alumni Series event will host Rebecca Epstein-Levi (UVA MA '12, PhD '17), Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Vanderbilt University, on April 2, 2025. Professor Epstein-Levi will discuss her new book, When We Collide: Sex, Social Risk, and Jewish Ethics with UVA Jewish Studies' Professor Elizabeth Shanks Alexander.
