I'm ABD at Harvard and will be starting a position as assistant professor of theater at Baruch College in the fall. I work primarily on Yiddish theater and Jewish performance in the twentieth century, but I use a variety of digital methodologies to augment my scholarship. I'm currently working on a born-digital companion to my current project (a monograph on the interwar Yiddish art theater movement) that visually maps out the connections between itinerant Jewish theater artists and their mainstream European/American counterparts between the two World Wars.
