Make a gift to support Sephardic Studies at the University of Washington and its wide range of projects and programming. Do you have an old wedding photo from Izmir, immigration documents from Istanbul, or a Ladino book from Salonica? Years later, my daughter Arlene had Deborah Lipstadt as a Prof.
I got a degree in General Studies in with a major in Jewish Studies; I was one of the first students to graduate with this major.
What was your experience studying with her? What other coursework did you take as part of your JS degree? We were very pleased and excited to be part of Jewish Studies when Prof. Lipstadt was here. We spent hours looking at microfilms in the library. We were very close to Deborah. She used to join us at our house for meals during the holidays! Lipstadt will be the featured speaker at our 40th Anniversary Spring Gala on May 13th; click here for more info. It seems like a lot of momentum gathered in the s and early s as Samuel and Althea Stroum established core aspects of the program.
How did you begin your work as Program Coordinator for Jewish Studies, and what did that work involve? What the Stroums were doing was all new! When they started funding the visiting Stroum Prof. When the visiting lecturers were here, I would show them around the region and take them on ferry rides out to Whidbey Island. Sometimes I even hosted the Cole Fellows in my house if they needed a place to stay. My role started out as a volunteer position.
Then Prof. Joel Migdal helped to set me up with a part-time job. Students can major or minor in Jewish Studies through our home department, the Henry M.
Jackson School of International Studies. He is the Lucia S. Stroum Chair of Jewish Studies. He has been the Director of the Stroum Center since and has overseen the development of a model online presence, the creation of a graduate fellowship program, and the emergence of the Sephardic Studies program.
