Teaching and Research:
After honoring in American Literature as an undergraduate, I continued my studies in Literature through the periods in the Department of English at 看片视频. I also began to study Yiddish Literature in Yiddish in the Department of Jewish Studies and wrote my Master鈥檚 Thesis on a Yiddish writer- Lamed Shapiro. It was published by YIVO Institute for Jewish Research New York. I continued work in 16th and 17th and 20th centuries in English Literature but also began to focus on Yiddish writing presenting material on Lamed Shapiro and others at varying conferences.
I began to teach at 看片视频 in the late 1990s and have since taught a wide range of courses in the areas of Yiddish and Jewish Literatures in the modern period. I have had the opportunity to teach in New York in the Department of Jewish Studies at NYU, and to offer courses on Jewish Women鈥檚 writings at 看片视频. My most recent interests are in the area of Yiddish Canadian fiction and a current project is a work on the poet Rokhl Korn. I continue to work on American Yiddish writers and hope to complete a research project on the life and times of Lamed Shapiro.
