SUMMARY:Yiddish on One Foot with Seb from the Yiddish Book Center - Between Two Worlds
DESCRIPTION:\nYiddish has been one of the most widely spoken Jewish 
 languages in history. Yet it is often misunderstood\, maligned\, or 
 reductively imagined as a jargon of jokes or a mongrel tongue. In this 
 presentation\, we'll go beyond the stereotypes to explore the origins and 
 evolution of this global language\, with an emphasis on its vast literature 
 and vibrant culture. And why on one foot? You'll just have to hop on in to 
 find out!\n\n \n\n-------\n\n\nSebastian Schulman (he/him) is a 
 multilingual writer\, literary translator\, and independent scholar working 
 in and between English\, French\, Yiddish\, Esperanto\, Russian\, and other 
 languages. His work has appeared in anthologies and literary journals 
 including Words Without Borders\, Two Lines\, and Electric Literature. 
 Schulman’s translation of Spomenka Stimec’s Esperanto-language novel 
 Croatian War Nocturnal was published by Phoneme Media. He has held 
 leadership positions at several cultural institutions\, currently serving 
 as the director of special projects and partnerships at the Yiddish Book 
 Center in Amherst\, MA. He divides his time between western Massachusetts 
 and Montréal\, Québec.\n\n_________\n\n \n\nThis lecture is presented as 
 part of the Yiddish Book Center's Public Libraries Program\, a partnership 
 with the American Library Association. Made possible by the Lilly 
 Endowment\, Inc. \n\n \n\n \n
