Emily holds a bachelor’s degree in Social and Political Theory, a Masters in Conflict Studies, and is currently a graduate student in the school of Journalism at Northeastern University. Her work can be found in +972 Magazine, The Guardian, Jewish Currents, Haaretz and The New York Times. 

Yuval Evri
Israel/Palestine as a Shared Space: Historical Failures and Alternative Pathways for the Future

Tuesday, December 2
5:30-7:00 PM
Hillel Lounge
A light dinner will be served


The Brandeis community is invited to join NEJS Professor Yuval Evri for a special conversation. Evri is a cultural historian who specializes in Sephardi/Arab-Jewish modern culture and history. His current book traces the invention of the Mizrahim/Sephardim as go-betweens and mediators on the borderline that emerged between the Jew and the Arab and between Hebrew and Arabic. It explores how the fluidity inherent in this position became a source of resistance to the dominant national and monolingual forces.

Cosponsored by Brandeis Hillel and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies.
