    Media and political attention are focused on college campuses, and Jews figure prominently in these debates.

On March 11, 2025, philosopher Dr. Gilah Kletenik and historian Dr. Devin E. Naar engaged in a conversation moderated by Dr. Daniel Heller to reflect on key questions provoked by our current moment. The event took place on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Washington.

  • Interview with author Leigh Bardugo on "The Familiar" - Ladino Day 2024

    Interview with author Leigh Bardugo on "The Familiar" - Ladino Day 2024
    Dec 6 2024
    Interview starts at 4:03. Bestselling fantasy author Leigh Bardugo ("Shadow and Bone") discusses her new novel, “The Familiar,” with faculty member Canan Bolel in this December 8, 2024, conversation at the University of Washington. In the novel, Bardugo follows the struggles of a “converso” heroine — from a family forced to convert to Christianity and keep its Jewish heritage secret in 16th-century Spain — who draws magic from her family’s secret language, Ladino, and the refranes (sayings) that preserve Sephardic Jewish wit and wisdom across time. In the conversation, Bardguo discusses what drew her to this story and setting, how she wove Ladino into her narrative, the family history that inspired her, and the collaboration with Bolel that led to the selection of refranes included in the book.
