Panel Discussion at AWP Conference

“Our Own Name: Writing Jewishness Beyond Zionism, Assimilation & Fear” with Robin Beth Schaer, Moriel Rothman-Zecher, Irina Reyn, Courtney Zoffness and Jennifer Gilmore. How can contemporary poetry and prose trouble and disrupt associations, conflations, and assumptions about Jewish identity? In this panel, a diverse group of Jewish writers will grapple with the possibilities and limitations of writing about diasporic Jewish lives — beyond stereotype, assimilation, and Zionism. They will explore urgent and shifting questions about intention and audience for work that reflects the multiplicity of Jewish experience and confronts the weaponization of antisemitism. As part of the annual conference Association of Writers & Writing Programs. Room 405, Los Angeles Convention Center, Level Two.
