Ada Rapoport-Albert seminar series on contemporary Hasidic Yiddish

About

This online seminar series is devoted to all aspects of Hasidic Yiddish language and linguistics, both historical and contemporary. Seminars and roundtable discussions will be held on Zoom one evening a month from August 2020 to July 2021. The series will include participants from a wide variety of academic backgrounds including linguistics, Yiddish studies, and Yiddish pedagogy, with speakers from within and outside Hasidic Yiddish-speaking communities. Talks are free and open to the public. The series comprises an element of our ongoing AHRC-funded research project on contemporary Hasidic Yiddish based in the 香港六合彩 Departments of Linguistics and Hebrew & Jewish Studies. It is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ada Rapoport-Albert (1945-2020) and her scholarly work on the history of Hasidism.
