Lecture: Margaret Olin “Jewish Space” Senior Research Scholar at the Yale Divinity School Yale University Sunday January 10, 2010, 2pm As a Senior Research Scholar at the Yale Divinity School, Margaret Olin’s current research concerns documentary media, Jewish visual culture, and theories of witnessing and commemoration. This talk is part of a project called "Jewish Space," which examines sites identified as "Jewish," or in which Jews have a stake, as they mingle with others in imagination or reality. It also concerns sites from which Jews are excluded, and develops an argument in which Jewish spaces are understood as shared spaces.
