I study ideologies of childhood and education, in medieval and contemporary literature. My dissertation examines Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish children’s literature and education of the late twentieth century. I also work on ideologies of childhood and education in medieval British texts and medieval Hebrew Ashkenazi texts, as well as the Bais Yaakov Project with support from the New Media Lab.
I earned my BA in English Literature with a minor in Classical Studies from the City College of New York.
The kids are the future. And the past.
