Panel 1: 9 AM, Panel 2: 12 PM

The panels of this conference will focus on Sephardic women’s lives, which rarely get told as biography, and ask: How can biographies of Sephardic women help us complicate one-dimensional narratives of victimhood, heroism, and neglect? What might these stories teach us about modern Jewish history, histories of the Mediterranean, and global history? And how can biography provide new insights into these oft-neglected histories?
