Situated Narratives: Hearing The Voices Of Jewish Adolescent Girls, Cheryl Weiner
Situated Narratives: Hearing The Voices Of Jewish Adolescent Girls, Cheryl Weiner
Lesley University Community of Scholars Day
The project offers an in-depth analysis of life story narratives from Jewish adolescent girls (McAdams, 1993) to better understand what Jewish identity means to them and how it shapes their feelings, attitudes and responses to inter and intra-personal issues regarding Whiteness, Judaism, social responsibility, gender and privilege. Findings from this project will contribute to the development of a conceptual framework for understanding Jewish adolescent girls’ identity development and as a means for engaging Jewish girls in important social justice work.
