Virtual International Programming from Australia to Poland  and Florida Continues

At the same time, the Center Programming Committee resumed the virtual programming during the fall semester that the Center had launched at the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020. This term’s guests, ranging from a return of Prof. Noah Shenker (Australia) to Prof. emerita Carolyn Ellis (Florida), all worked in important fields from compassionate research with Holocaust survivors to the struggles of Polish Jewry before and during the Shoah that Prof. Rosemary Horowitz z’’l was immersed and published in. The Center, therefore, dedicated the programs to our late previous Center director. 

​The program with our guests also supported curricular activities in the minor in Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies as well as Communication. The students of Prof. Chris Patti, a Center affiliate, benefited immensely from their exchanges with Prof. Ellis. Speaking live from Poland, Prof. Natalia Aleksiun, who currently serves as a senior fellow at the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies in Warsaw, was at the center of a memorable and well-attended research colloquium. The event allowed participants to get acquainted with the broad range of our guest’s studies, ranging from the significance of gender analysis in the study of Polish Jewry to the role and functions of medicine during the Holocaust. The latter also foreshadowed the upcoming course on the topic with Prof. Miriam Offer (Western Galilee College, WGC) that allows Appalachian students to explore the difficult topic with their Israeli counterparts at WGC. Dr. Aleksiun, meanwhile, accepted the Harry Rich Professorship of Holocaust Studies at the University of Florida-Gainesville and we are looking forward to welcoming her back to Appalachian soon.
