BENAROYA LECTURE | Fighting for Dignity: Migrant Lives at Israel’s Margins
November 19, 4:00 – 5:15 PM | Online
In this talk sponsored by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies, sociocultural anthropologist Sarah Willen of the University of Connecticut will reflect on nearly two decades of ethnographic engagement with global migrants who arrived in Israel from countries as varied as Ghana and the Philippines, Nigeria, Colombia, and Ukraine. Drawing on fieldwork in homes and in churches, medical offices, advocacy organizations, and public spaces, Willen’s talk will explore how global migrants in Tel Aviv struggle to craft meaningful, flourishing lives despite the exclusions and vulnerabilities they endure. Her work will challenge us to reconsider our understandings of global migration, human rights, Israel and the Middle East— and even dignity itself.
