DR. ADRIANA M. BRODSKY Co-President, Latin American Jewish Studies Association Associate Professor of History St. Mary’s College of Maryland Dr. Adriana M. Brodsky explores the paths taken by young Argentine Jewish women and men as they navigate these politically charged times. Youths who were active in Jewish communal institutions debated whether or not to participate in Argentine political youth groups. Most of them were training to eventually move to Israel, and many of these young Jews chose not to be apathetic to an existing political climate that increasingly viewed young people as agents of change.
Presented in collaboration with Hofstra’s Department of Religion, Department of History, Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program, Women’s Studies Program, LGBT+ Studies Program, African Studies Program, and the Center for the Study of “Race,” Culture and Social Justice.
