The Sephardi Modernities Seminar is an annual lecture series, which presents different experiences of Sephardi modernization across place and time.
This year the series traces the involvement of Sephardi Jews in socialist, communist, and anti-colonial movements, as well as their place in postcolonial thought. Guest speakers will examine how their diasporic identities, experiences of marginalization, and encounters with European colonialism influenced their political engagements.
The Sephardi Modernities Seminar Series is organized by Angy Cohen (Spanish National Research Council) and Yuval Evri (Brandeis University).
