University of Washington Sephardic Studies Program cordially invites you to Ladino Day 2025
Sunday, November 16 at 10:00 am PT/1 pm ET, in person in Kane Hall 210 at the University of Washington campus, and livestreamed online. Register for the in-person event and to see more details here. Please see the flyers attached.
This year’s program, “Sephardic Homelands: Spanish and Portuguese Citizenship and the Question of Belonging Today,” critically examines the significance of the decision ten years ago, in 2015, of the Spanish and Portuguese governments to offer citizenship to descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled five centuries ago. The discussion will situate Spain and Portugal’s offers within broader debates about the homelands that Sephardic Jews have claimed as their own over the generations, while also recognizing that millions of people in the world remain stateless today.
Isaac Alhadeff Professor in Sephardic Studies, Dr. Devin E. Naar, will host Dr. Rina Benmayor, California State University Monterey Bay, and Dr. Dalia Kandiyoti, City University of New York (CUNY), College of Staten Island, for a conversation about their research on the topic as featured in their edited volume, Reparative Citizenship for Sephardi Descendants, appearing in paperback this autumn.
