I have a Ph.D. in Jewish and East European history from the University of Michigan (2008), and, after a brief teaching stint at the University of South Carolina, have since 2009 been with the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. At the Center, I work as one of the authors of a multi-volume series, Jewish Responses to Persecution. I am interested in learning more about the digital humanities and the potential of technology. Slavoj Žižek: I listen to what he has to say. Rarely profound, but always fun. My favorite: A Pervert's Guide to Cinema.
