  1. "In addition to my own #scholarship and #teaching on #Jewish #folklore, I also proudly serve as the co-chair of the #American Folklore Society’s #JewishFolklore and #Ethnology Section and as an associate editor of the #academic journal Jewish Folklore and Ethnology. My work, like that of my colleagues, depends on engagement with communities, with #archives, and with #scholars across borders.

    It is precisely that kind of engagement that is now under threat.

    Within #folkloristics, #ethnomusicology examines music as a form of cultural knowledge and expression, a way of understanding identity, history, and society. Recently, the group Music Scholars for #Palestine has pushed for the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM) to adopt a resolution aligned with the #Palestinian Campaign for the #Academic and #Cultural #Boycott of #Israel (#BDS)."

  6. Reminder to the academics who may read this: Sharing your knowledge and skills to a broader audience is so important! We should expand our contributions outside of the ivory tower. An institution that, since its inception, has siloed its knowledge to an elite few. #education #highered #academia #college #scholars #researchers

  31. "[...] Democritus, who laughs at the world, and Heraclitus, who weeps over it.

    The story of the #Jews tends to be told in the Heraclitan mode.

    There is a name for this tendency: it is the ‘lachrymose conception of #Jewish #history’. This was the coinage of the #historian #SaloBaron, and intended in a pejorative way: #Baron spent his career criticising an earlier generation of #scholars for painting such a gloomy picture of #Jewishhistory. The #FrenchRevolution, #HeinrichGraetz had said, was a ‘judgement which in one day atoned for the sins of a thousand years’; the #emancipation of the Jews that followed in its wake marked the ‘dawn after their long slavery among the nations of #Europe’. Baron’s 1928 essay, ‘Ghetto and Emancipation’, called for a ‘break with the lachrymose theory of pre-Revolutionary woe, and to adopt a view more in accord with historic truth’. The historic truth, in his view, was that emancipation wasn’t all good, and the ghetto wasn’t all bad."

  36. @evedazzle @tadbithuman Simply ANOTHER #HeritageFoundation Project playbook running the #Nazi Regime of #tRump-Miller against #WeThePeople, #POC, & the less resourced among us.

    The entire tRump #regime, = the #AmericanTaliban.

    We should be using #Libraries for more things, not less. Fully #Fund libraries so they could be staffed and open at least as long as #bars, if not 24-7-365!

  37. Sign Petition - #Scholars in #solidarity with Cuba
    change.org/p/scholars-in-solid

    As scholars from around the world, we unite to condemn the #US government’s ‘maximum pressure’ policy aimed at starving the Cuban people into submission. We defend #Cuba’s right to self-determination, including the right to pursue a socialist development path. We oppose the #Trump administration’s declaration of a ‘national emergency’, its threats of tariffs against countries sending #oil to Cuba, and the absurd claim that Cuba threatens US national security. The impact is already visible with hospitals and universities closing, and industry, agriculture and transport in crisis...

    The policy’s objective, laid out in a 1960 memorandum by US diplomat Lester Mallory titled ‘The Decline and Fall of Castro’, is to use economic warfare ‘to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government’. This constitutes collective punishment, illegal under international law.
