SUMMARY:Presentation:Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Ekaterina Olson Shipyatsky\, PhD Candidate in Political Science (Political Theory) and the Museum Studies Certificate Program.\n\nBefore the Holocaust\, Poland was home to approximately 3.3 million Jews – making it the world’s second-largest Jewish community. By the end of World War II\, Nazis and collaborators had succeeded in killing over 90% of Poland’s Jewish population\, about three million people. Most survivors emigrated\, but an estimated 90\,000 remained – only to be expelled in large numbers through an antisemitic\, government-run campaign in 1968.  \n\nTraces of both the vibrant Jewish community that once lived in Poland – and the violence that killed and expelled so many of them – are visible in today’s contemporary Polish landscape: synagogues that are now furniture stores\, doorframes that once held mezuzot\, overgrown Jewish cemeteries. The Galicia Jewish Museum\, located in Kazimierz\, the pre-Holocaust heart of the Kraków Jewish Community\, exhibits photographs of these traces. In doing so\, the museum aims to complicate a narrative of Polish Jewish history that usually begins and ends solely with Auschwitz. \nIn this talk\, I share some of my experiences interning at the Galicia Jewish Museum this summer. Drawing on my experience giving tours of the museum’s permanent exhibition and working in the museum’s education department\, I’ll discuss the tangles of remembering the Holocaust in Poland and the complex landscape of Jewish institutions in Kraków. Institutions like the Galicia Jewish Museum\, I’ll argue\, offer us an opportunity to reflect on the politics of memory museums\, urban museology\, and the decisions that face those who live among traces of genocidal violence.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Orientalist Fantasies and Women Priests: Studying Gender in Ancient Iraq
DESCRIPTION:Imperialism and Orientalism continue to color studies of gender in ancient Iraq. This talk outlines the challenges and opportunities that a rich corpus of religious and ritual texts\, primarily from the late second and early first millennia BCE\, presents for addressing this legacy. Contemporary understandings of gendered religious titles in Mesopotamia rely on Orientalist tropes that guided the decipherment of the Akkadian language itself\, distorting our understanding of the social landscape of gender. Through a case study\, I will show how a reevaluation of the textual record can furnish a more accurate understanding of the intersection of gender and religious authority in Mesopotamia.\n\nJessie DeGrado is an assistant professor of Middle East Studies at the University of Michigan. His interests include the intersection of empire\, gender\, and religion in the early first millennium BCE. His current book project explores the entanglement of modern imperialism with the historiography of ancient empire. He is also in the early stages of a project that treats religious texts and ritual sites as loci of gender consolidation and contestation in ancient Mesopotamia.
