Hidden Jews Of The Balkans, Joshua A. Futtersak
Hidden Jews Of The Balkans, Joshua A. Futtersak
Capstones
The history of the Jewish people is one filled with trials, triumphs, and often devastation. Many believe themselves to be educated in Jewish history, but we often have blind spots in our research and schooling. This project aims to look at just one region of Jewish history to tell the stories that are not usually told.
The Balkan region is incredibly diverse in its ethnicities and cultures. The history of the Jews in this region expresses that diversity. This project focuses on the unique stories of the Jewish communities in Bosnia, Serbia, and Greece. These stories of survival and perseverance …
Review Of Muslims And Jews In France. History Of A Conflict By Maud S. Mandel, Bryan Turner
Review Of Muslims And Jews In France. History Of A Conflict By Maud S. Mandel, Bryan Turner
Publications and Research
The mood of European scholarship with respect to the recognition and integration of Islam is typically pessimistic.

These authors responded to the portentous mix of Nationalist and anti-Semitic politics by urging the creation of a separate …

We live in an age of fast fashion. Clothing is produced in greater volumes than ever before and the lifecycle of each garment keeps getting shorter and shorter. Many items are manufactured to be worn only one time and then thrown away—as disposable as a cup of coffee. There is much to be learned about our current fashion ecosystem by looking into the past. Beyond the garments themselves we must understand the larger historical and sociological context in which these articles of clothing were produced. How does the shopping environment shape the buying habits and fashion trends of an era? …
